One of Martin's favorite quotes is:"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?
You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of God that lives in us....Expand for more
It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.’
- Marianne Williamson in Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles. Quoted by Nelson Mandela at his inauguration speech.
The first time I saw this, it was posted just beyond the finish gate of Day 4, 2000 AIDS Ride, St. Paul/Minneapolis to Chicago. I stopped to read this...and the enormity of what was taking place around me, the love and goodwill and the energy of thousands of people gathered together in sheer, raw defiance of death and suffering...it simply overwhelmed me (well, that and 90+ miles in mid-summer heat). It was a blessing to be part of something so much grander and profound than myself, it was a feeling of, at long last, coming home.".
