Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.~Eugene Delacroix

A Condolence

Love is patient with life
That brings its share of pain.
We know sometimes there is an end
To the most stubborn rain.

We know the sun comes out again
On a world that's fresh and new,
And all the gifts we freely give
Somewhere, sometime accrue.

We know sometimes we have to wait
For life to come around,
And sometimes that it won't, but still
There's some good to be found.

And even when things happen that
Your soul can hardly bear,
Know that I'll be next to you;
My love is always there.

Your Playing Small...

"You are a child of God, your playing small does not serve the world."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful
beyound 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 we not to be?
You are a child of God, your playing small
does not serve the world, there is nothing
enlightening about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We are meant to shine as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us, its in everyone,
and as we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears,
our presence automatically liberates others."
