I found this wonderful photo at one of Sindhu's blogs and thought it was a brilliant interpretation of the shadow self. It is entitled Devi and was originally uploaded by Mandar Sengupta.
The photo is also a beautiful reminder of where I'll be next year: I'm flying from Chennai to Kolkata (Calcutta) where worshiping the Divine Mother is supreme. I plan on spending lots of time at Sri Ramakrishna's home, the Dakshineswar Kali Temple.
My gut is telling me that I will love Kolkata as I do Chennai.
OM KALI MA!
