“I can let my true self shine in front of God.”

“To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name.”

“The heart can push the sea and landFarther away on either hand;The soul can split the sky in two,And let the face of God shine through.”

“When you step into your power and your true authentic self, you shine. You shine so brightly that the world tries to keep up.”

“The light of God is in you. Let your light shine!”

“This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.”
