"Shadow of Gold"

The Gold you seek is in the Shadows of yourself that you are too afraid to venture into. Your shadows hold your pain, shame and lower emotions, but when you have the courage to venture into them, to see your shadowy parts and love them, you begin finding the flakes of Gold hidden within. Our shadows hold our greatest pain and also our greatest power.
