One of April's favorite quotes is:""...as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~read by Nelson Mandela ...here is the full quote (**below):
"Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation" - Aristotle"
Ralph Waldo Emerson, adapted:
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship
" There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more..."
~Lord Byron

eepest 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. " ~M. Williamson
**********************
It doesnât interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heartâs longing.
It doesnât interest me
how old you are.
I want to knowÂ
if you will riskÂ
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill youÂ
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
âYes.â
It doesnât interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
I want to knowÂ
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
~Oriah".
