<hr width="84%"><hr><CENTER> Nelson Mandela 
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 and
fabulous ?
 
Actually, who are you--not to be ?
 
You are a child of God.
 
Your playing small-- doesn't serve the world.
 
There's 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 own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. We are liberated from our own fear; our presence automatically liberates others. ....... Nelson Mandela</CENTER><hr width=99%> <hr width="84%"> <CENTER>"The attitude of great poets is to cheer up slaves and horrify despots" ...Walt Whitman <hr width="84%"><hr> <pre>
My heart rouses

thinking to bring you news

of something

that concerns you

and concerns many men. Look at

what passes for the new.

You will not find it there but in

despised poems.

It is difficult

to get the news from poems

yet men die miserably every day

for lack
of what is found there.

-- William Carlos Williams
