Do not be afraid

On Friday there will be a gathering which you are invited to attend ... if that way inclined. (Details here).

On another note (or maybe not), someone commented yesterday that "no where is safe, but in Trinidad everyone knows where the problem is but because of fear no one speaks out." Rather than say that 'no-one' speaks out, I would say that 'few' do. And I don't think the fear of speaking out is fear of criminals or authorities, but rather the fear of one's very Self.

That thought reminds me of the words of these words:

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, fabulous? Actually, who are you 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 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 as we let our 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.
