Like
snakes and pollywogs and butterflies, adults sometimes
lose their previous orientations and retreat into what
looks like oblivion in order to incubate new life orientations
and life-styles that fit them better for moving into the
future.

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?"
--Marianne Williamson
