There are few shades and a shadow in this picture!
We are inclined to feel comfortable with shades because it gives protection. Our shadow becomes a shade and gives protection to others, not to ourselves.
The light produces both of this.
When we walk towards the light the light brings in to being shades and shadows.
Walking towards the light is not easy as the light often is brilliant and dazzling, so much so it can blind our sight transiently!
The mystic believers have referred to this as the 'dazzling darkness' of the eternal light! It is too bright to behold and yet moving towards the light is the only way to live a purposeful life!
It is also the way, light shines on us to dispel our inner darkness of self absorption and self promotion!
To feel for others is one way of living vicariously! It is in this shadow of our goodness towards others, they would prosper and feel nurtured!
