Cool Ass Shit!

Me pally C & I at the beach a while back tryin' on hats. We're so cute! Anyway there is much excitement to be had as tomorrow I'm going to help with Districts 24 & 27's spaghetti feed. I hope there's a good turnout. Plus I get to hang with my pal J who is a super nice dude. Then on Sunday it's movie time. I'll be watching a lesbian shorts film festival DVD & it's one I've never seen so that's cool.

My pal John made it to England safely & I really hope he shags a nice British boy for us all. I continue to do my soulwork & am answering big, deep questions about security, safely & what that stuff means to me. Thinking about what Nelson Mandela said in his 1994 inaugural speech. I'll put it below. Anyway Portland, OR is the #1 city for walking. How coolio. Check it out. http://walking.about.com/od/trails/tp/walkcity2006.htm

Anyway life is so good. I just love this life I've been given. Here's the speech. Maianne Williamson wrote it but it became famous when Nelson Mandela spoke these words.

"...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 doesn't serve the world. There's 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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
