or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
