hugh's cartoons sometimes hit a nerve. this one struck a chord because there are people with whom i'd like to talk. not conversations that i'm particularly interested in actualy having, but i'd like to talk to them. give my side of the story. one way communication. that's what i need. let's make it happen :)
and yes, i'm talking about you.
i'm sure i've posted this before, but it seems relevant yet again. so. a repost.
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 frighten 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 enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
