Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Beyond Measure

I read this almost every day, I am not sure if it is a poem or not.  When I first heard it I was struck by it.  The author is Marianne Wilson.

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,
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you,
We are all meant to shine as children do,
It is not just in some of us, its in everyone,
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give others permission to do the same,
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others,
