By TravelerenRoute GOLD
Ribera, New Mexico

The world spins round. The earth turns around. Infinity encompasses all. The people stare As infinity cares. And there are places to be rescued everywhere. Does anybody care...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson

&quot;When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &quot;happy&quot;. They told me I didn&rsquo;t understand the assignment. I told them they didn&rsquo;t understand life.&quot; &mdash; John Lennon

Yesterday&#039;s the past, tomorrow&#039;s the future, but today is a gift. That&#039;s why it&#039;s called the present.

&quot;People are screwed up in this world. I&#039;d rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.&quot; - Ned Vizzini, It&#039;s Kind of a Funny Story
