The Mirror Of Divine Beauty by Rumi

                 Augustine from THE FAIRIES

Rumi is always filled with wisdom and love.

My good friend Kelly sent me this and I felt moved to share it 

with all of you...

You are the secret of God's secret.

You are the mirror of divine beauty.

Everything in the universe is within you.

Ask all from yourself.

The One at whom you are looking is you also.

Nelson Mandela's Inaugural Speech

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 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.

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.

This is a piece written and illustrated by the artist Maira Kalman, entitled, "And The Pursuit Of Happiness." It chronicles her visit to Thomas Jefferson's home; Monticello in Virginia.

I really enjoyed it and felt it was appropriate, as it is the day after July 4th- Independence Day.

It appeared on her blog in the NY Times.
