“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.”

Low
I sat there
while she went through her journal
picking out parts
that became more important
through poetry. “I jot down ideas”
was said like it was something
everyone does,
as if she presupposes a world that is
covered in her words like sacred lambs
that speak with special triptych notions.
She writes “Low”
like the first syllable of Lolita, though
it is the sound of her art,
as it makes itself colloquial. Drawn out,
it becomes a bellow.
