i read a quote this morning from marianne williamson that really moved me.
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 frightens us. We ask ourselves "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. 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.
good stuff, you know. truth is beautiful. and this got me thinking. thinking about the people around me who let their light shine and how they have unknowingly liberated me. and helped me to let go of the insecurites and rise above.
love these dear friends. love them. more than they know.
as time and distance from each other begins to increase, we’ll always be close. always be a family. they make me laugh. they make me cry. they make me feel safe. safe to be me. and safe to let my light shine.
so come what may… wherever you go… i love you all.
