iamomOur 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 born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Speech, 1994.

whatever perceived
in the neural network soap
life is but a dream
on a never ending cruise
with nobody at the wheel

In the heart of life, if we pause long enough, go deep enough to listen, we may hear the beating, the rhythmic pounding of life's very essence, of our fears, joys, longings, hopes, dreams, nightmares... In the heart of life lies a steady pulse, a never ceasing rhythm of all that exists - has ever existed - of all that we have created out of our collective imaginings in this obscure bubble of time and space. We move through it, finding our way, making our choices, at times simply giving in to the rhythm itself, allowing it to cradle us, allowing us - if only for one brief moment - to just be... to feel the timelessness of our very existence.
