Small World

I started on the YM with Angel Espiritu yesterday. Tua na man diay sya sa Ortigas. He said magiging colleague daw nya soon si Stephanie Anne Sala or Tippy for short. Wow, haven't heard from her for a very long time indeed! She even became my student in Econ 51. Angel said she's been living in New York but she came home to get married. To whom he doesn't know. Small world ra jud no?

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

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 frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we 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.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
