Our Greatest Fear

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'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.  

—Marianne Williamson

“Goodbye Michael” by white stone

 

http://allpoetry.com/journal/16745-Goodbye-Michael

 

 

I worked in a college library for 12 years and was able to get a microfiche copy of a handwritten manuscript (fascicles) by Emily Dickinson from Boston University through Interlibrary Loans. They were tied together with ribbons. The first edition of her poems to be published after her death had Indian Pipe flowers painted on the cover done by Mabel Loomis Todd for Emily. A later issue of different poems reproduced the same image of the flowers on the cover. I then copied my favorite poems in her handwriting and mounted typed copies next to them and hung them with her picture over my desk for inspiration.
