inspiration
just got back from 2 weeks of travel in the pacific northwest. it is soooo good to be home. this place is so magical. it's easy to take it for granted when you're in the island too long. i guess that's what you call "island fever". i've come back refreshed, renewed, inspired, and full of love.
single fin & i went on a nice little walk back in the valley to our little waterfall. the flowers were in full bloom, fragrant smells everywhere you went, guava fruit on the ground, bright, vibrant colors surround us, the coolness of the water against our skin...me & my best friend. life is beautiful.
"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 our selves '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 inadequate around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that
is within us,
It is not just in SOME of us,
It is in EVERYONE,
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other
People permission to do the same,
As we are liberated from fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."
