"In 1987, I was sitting on a high hillside overlooking a lake near Konming, China. I was alone, which was a rare occurrence during the three weeks that I had been touring China with a group of YMCA volunteers. It was there, for a few breathtaking moments, I captured a view of a most incredibly beautiful sight. From my vantage point, I looked through some dark leafy trees to an opening where the sun was shining and reflecting upon the lake far below. I felt pulled from my dark shadowy place into a beautiful beaming light. It was an experience I had many times during my meditations, but I had never seen the symbolism of moving from the shadow into the lightness so vividly in nature. This image came to me while I was experiencing some personal difficulties and this symbolism was the reminder I needed. There is always light beyond the dark shadows. I soaked in the scene and then closed my eyes and meditated and asked for guidance. The message I received in my thoughts was that I must live my truth. This thought may seem simple, but it was the greatest, most awakening perception that I had ever made."
