WHAT IS LOVE?
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing?
And your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't love, it's like.
You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?
It isn't love, it's lust.
Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
It isn't love, it's luck.
Do you want them because you know they're there?
It isn't love, it's loneliness.
Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
It isn't love, it's loyalty.
Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?
Then it's love.
Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?
Then it's love.
Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's love.
Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them?
It isn't love, it's pity.
Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
It isn't love, it's unconfidence.
Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't love, it's infatuation.
But do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?
Then it's love.
Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
Tt isn't love, it's friendship.
Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?
Then it's love.
Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
It isn't love, it's a lie.
Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
Then it's love.
Are you willing to live all of your favorite things for their sake?
It isn't love, it's charity.
Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?
Then it's love.
Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why do we love?
Why is it all we search for in life?
This pain, this agony?
Why is it all we long for?
This torture, this powerful death of self?
Why?
Because it's love.
Be Yourself
You do not have to be your mother unless she is who you
want to be. You do not have to be your mother's mother,
or your mother's mother's mother, or even your grandmother's
mother on your father's side. You may inherit their chins
or their hips or their eyes, but you are not destined to
become the women who came before you. You are not destined
to live their lives. So if you inherit something, inherit
their strength, their resilience. Because the only person
you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Our Deepest Fear
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
enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born
to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in
everyone. 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.
