"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, 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 won't 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's not just in some of us; it is 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 - from "A
Return To Love"

What is your deepest fear? Is it that your child will fail or that your child will succeed? We do not trust our children in this land of the United Kingdom. We force our young to stay for their early days in boxes learning what someone else tells them to learn. We do not trust them to learn what they need to learn. We do not see them as agents in their own lives, and we do not allow them to be agents in their own lives.
When will we learn to trust our children's birthright of self-determination and mastery?
