liberation



The "red & yellow I can be whatever artist I like" painting.


"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; its 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
