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. -Marianne Williamson

i recent added this quote to the bottom of my blog...

strange really
it isnt a fear i identify with well
but i guess it holds a kind of truth
that we fear the light more than darkness

while, we detest darkness
we embrace it
for we know its limits... we are familiar to it(sadly)
its an old friend whom we hold in contempt but refuse to let go

meanwhile,
we claim to love the light
but we are afraid to step out into it
for fear of what it may reveal to us about ourselves and the world around us
that when we finally see...

we fear it for its potential
for wad it may become
and wad it may demand of us
for that which we long to lose, yet hate to let go
for wad it may make us

now i guess, i kinda understand this fear
the fear of joy, that we may actually become something more than pathetic
something stronger than weak
something more joyful than miserable...
that somewhere in someones eyes,
we may actually have worth....

nothing is more painful i guess
than watching ourselves struggle against joy...

its no wonder the book this quote is taken from is named return to love

dare we?
