Marianne Williamson

"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, and 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 will not 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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

 Marianne Williamson

 

Space Dust Once Again

~Chinese proverb

If there is light in the soul there is beauty in the person. 
If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in 
the house. If there is harmony in the house there is
 order in the nation. If there is order in the nation 
there is peace in the world. ..°°°♡..

~Chinese proverb

 

Buck Up and Just Keep Going

I Picked You Red

She draws up into her arms long stems, 

silkened petals,
but it was 

the red that
caught her eye.
She tugs at the earth.
The roots let go and give into their destiny.
She gathers them close to her and scampers clumsily
with purpose towards her momma, 

visible out of the
corner of her eye.

Look momma... I picked you red.

In the Morning Fog

In the morning fog a cloak is tossed over the common and known. Shapes dance and weave guiding onlookers further down a hidden path . Each step is revealing, comforting as the glimpse of what is familiar rises above the unknown. The thrill of uncertainty, the dance of the fog...not just an ordinary morning.

When You Believed in Everything

Belief is less an action word and more a state of mind.

The Night Sky Is Painted Pink

The night sky is painted pink. The light from the highway has made its way between the clouds and cloaks the moon with a mellow glow. It is just cool enough to entice me to linger outside. The air is still but the crickets and cicadas play loudly. The fountain babbles like a background singer to this nocturnal score. The air conditioner rumbles awake from its sleep...disturbing the quiet. My cool cotton sheets are waiting for me, but I linger.   ~ymd
