A deep, dark night, A heavy grief so sharp, so bright, The memory like a dagger’s string, A Constant ache that never leaves.  A loved one’s face, A smile that...

&quot;The truth with a bad intent, is worse than any lie you can ever invent.&quot;<br /> &quot;You are smarter than you think. You are stronger than you look. You are braver than you feel.&quot;

My quote is from the song &quot;I Wish You Were Here&quot; by Incubus: <br /> <br /> I dig my toes into the sand<br /> The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds<br /> Strewn across a blue blanket<br /> I lean against the wind<br /> Pretend that I am weightless<br /> And in this moment I am happy

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
