“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
~Marianne Williamson
Only I believe we do not just manifest the God that is within us…I believe that we are all God…not just children of.
The Truth is: I am so afraid of being powerful that I would rather take on the blame than my own responsibility…. How can God be afraid of God?
No wonder I get exasperated with my little girl. I think at times we have about the same emotional maturity level.
Now, if I could just fly like she does…

KT: Mine too. :)
GW: Yeah? *pulls up skin to look* Hard to see that one at times. ;)
Ony: Thanks Ony. I think you literally soar (and there are so many puns in that). And that’s a great song. I’ve been tossing it around as a posting for a while now….but you did it for me! Hope you’re doing well.
