About this listen
In our lives, we often stumble upon unexpected gifts wrapped in shadow. Recently, while preparing to return to my hometown in Alabama for the funeral of a dear, long-time friend, I found myself reflecting on an unusual gift given to me by someone I love deeply—a box full of darkness. For years, this impenetrable gift weighed heavily on my heart as I navigated the world, moving from one adventure to the next, carrying the darkness as an unresolved piece of my journey. Yet now, as I prepare to bid farewell to my friend, I understand the profound lesson this gift has imparted. This darkness, once a specter of shame, has become a guide, urging me to explore and embrace all aspects of myself, both cherished and forgotten. It has illuminated my understanding of loyalty, self-awareness, and the human propensity for growth even from the shadows.
