| yes. we. can. i had the honor of seeing barack obama speak last night. and for the first time in my life, i am inspired as an american to be apart of the political process and stand behind something i believe in. it was truly an amazing experience. and i am incredibly hopeful of the prospect of an america led by the ideals of a man like barack obama. |

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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
[i needed to be reminded of this.]

| ache. the toppling over, the feeling that something vital is disintegrating, the stuck in muck feeling seeping out at the edges. - oh - i want to twist away from this loneliness. there seems to be no place for it in the swirling world around me. all this sadness and unexpressed parts. we can end up carrying all this sadness and unexpressed bits of ourselves if we don't speak up. spill open. and be truly as we are. i am learning that loving all the way can ache and sting, but loving halfway doesn't keep us safe... it leaves us with a hope that can never live outloud. let yourself pour forward and be a place for your ache to rest. - sabrina ward harrison. [not because i'm there... but because i know what it's like to be there. and because sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it's hard to understand or reach someone when they are in that place.] |
