There are Shadows Everywhere.

"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining nearby."
-Ruth E. Renkel

I'd like to place this into the category of too much cheese on the cheeseburger. But after thinking about it a little bit, I was struck by the implication it has. Never fear shadows, never fear shadows, never fear shadows. I think this quote is more about overcoming fear. And as we all know, overcoming fears, or anything for that matter, requires courage. Courage isn't always the person who volunteers to go to war. Sometimes, courage is the person who stays to comfort those left behind. This quote also encourages courage in another way. It says not to give in, for the light is coming; whatever challenge you are facing will become easier to bear.
