Have the ultimate affair with the ultimate stranger: your shadow. Encounter the part of yourself you do not know. Have the ultimate affair--with your own soul. Find out about the parts of yourself that have been hidden from view.

Mark Gerzon in Listening to Midlife: Turning Your Crisis into a Quest by Mark Gerzon

 

To Practice This Thought:
Arrange a meeting between your public self and your shadow. What would they want to know about each other?
