Our deepest wishes are whispers 
of our authentic selves. 
We must learn to respect them. 
We must learn to listen.

If what I say resonates with you, it is merely because we are both branches of the same tree.
W.B. Yeats

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
-Frank Herbert, Dune

 "Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals human spirit." - E.E. Cummings
