What's New
November 21, 2008
Winston and Mary just returned from the regional American Camp Association conference, excellent as always. The keynote speaker (Bob Ditter) as usual had a wealth of insight. He closed his final session with the following poem, and we were reminded of Friday nights under the stars in the woods, as Heidi read us the same poem. How important it is. It's been a couple months since camp. But don't forget what you learned. Shine.
“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 does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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 own 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.”
Marianne Williamson
