“Vårvisa
I vårtid, i groddtid,
då brister frönas skal,
och råg blir råg och tall blir tall
i frihet utan val.
En ilning av vällust
går genom själ och kropp --
att jag är jag, nödvändigt jag --
en brodd, som hittat opp,
ett vårskott, vars växtkraft
jag knappast anar än --
men stammens sav med bitter smak
med lust jag känner den.
Så bort, all min feghet!
Jag hör min framtid till.
Jag tar mig rätt att växa nu
som rotens krafter vill.”

“SPRING SONG
In springtime, in sprouting time,
the seed its shell destroys,
and rye becomes rye and pine becomes pine
in freedom without choice.
A thrill of voluptuousness
passes through body and soul -
that I am I, necessarily I -
a sprout that's come up whole,
a spring shoot whose growing power
I scarce envision yet -
but the stem's sap of bitter taste,
with pleasure I know it.
Then begone, all my cowardice!
To my future I belong.
I take the right to grow now
as my roots will, and as strong.”

“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? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
