Psst! The Shadow Knows
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
March 24, 2024
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Carol Nimick, Worship Associate
The Shadow refers to all the aspects of our selves that we refuse to acknowledge – the “good” as well as the “bad” – that nonetheless impact the way we behave. Because we cannot see into our blind spots (think about those unnerving driving blind spots) there is often a difference between who we think we are and who we really are as we move through the world. The life-long spiritual journey involves coming to know, accept, and integrate all the parts of our selves. This Holy Week let’s risk taking a peek behind us.
