“Fire and water are contrasts. One is hot, the other is cold. One dries out, the other moistens,” I said.

“Could it be that an obsessive focus on ‘being positive’ can cause trouble?” my friend, Alicia, asked.

Now, I was intrigued.

“Yesterday,” she continued. “I took a blow to my heart. I discovered that my friend Susan is someone I cannot rely on. She is really stepping away from me. Like she’s become just an acquaintance.”

I saw the deep sadness on Alicia’s face.

“Then, I talked with you,” Alicia said. “You are a true friend. I am so grateful. So I learned something by contrasts.”

As a witch, do you focus on only having positive experiences?

Or do you flow with life as it goes?

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess,
Show me the way to clarity in my life.
For I cannot know Your light without understanding Your deep shadows.
Help me balance Your brilliance with Your darkness for my good and the good of all.
So mote it be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
