The Stuff Inside

"We walk through so many myths of each other and ourselves; we are so thankful when someone sees us for who we are and accepts us."

"If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you. Besides, those voices are merely guardians and demons protecting the real treasure, the first thoughts of the mind."

~Natalie Goldberg "Writing Down the Bones"

Sometimes when I am having problems with my own words, I seek comfort in the words of others.  But I must also realize that I cannot hide behind them either.
