A Patch of Sun

by Catherine Smith | Nov 20, 2015

Sunlight filters through tall, densely packed pine trees in a forest, illuminating a patch of sun on the forest floor while much of the area remains in shadow.

All week I've been writing, trying to capture the integration of my thoughts and my practice of the intersection of vulnerability and leadership. And now I  want only to stand in that gently shining place we see among the trees. The place that seems as though it might be the milieu of wholeness; surely if we stood there we would be whole, vulnerable and shining in it; our fears and and envies disappearing in the unpretentious sunlight.
