Eclipse


The other side of the Truth is rising in my feelings
and mingling with the surf of my breath.
There is a strange silence in the uncovering vastness
of what lies beyond. I am pulled into it and I am scared.
A strong current that does not belong to me is forcing me
forward to the edge of my understanding and a glimpse of 
being pinned to a wall flashes in my eyes.

    I received a poem today in my email inbox and then I read yours and I think they go together as a dialogue.


    Our Deepest Fear

    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 and fabulous?
    Actually who are we not to be?
    You are a child of God.

    Your playing small
    doesn't 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's in everyone.

    And when 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
