Our greatest 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, 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 insecure about you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to 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 unconciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I was sittin, today, in glish, and I was lookin at that *above*. I kept slipping, in between. From being quiet, and then being loud, stupid, noisy and doing Monty Python. I just thought about everything behind me, and kept trying to look ahead. Look ahead, because I was scared to look back. Because I thought it was over.

I know some of it I disagree with. Some of it makes me think. Some of it, I just don't know what to think. But, essentially, I think it's good. It's all good. It rings true, and I want to believe it. It makes a difference, to believe something like this instead of something morbid, like usual. It's strange. I think, I might even be happy.

Well, I say that. I started doing it again. But I don't know what it means. I don't know why I did it. No one noticed, if they did, they didn't realize I did it. I might have wanted them to, but that's wrong. I did it again, just a bit. Only surface scratches, not properly.

But now I'm happy. I think I am. I will be, at least.
