Maybe it's the fear of being scorned, of not being accepted, or of breaking the spell. It's ridiculous, but that's the way it is. That's why you don't ask-you act. As you've said many times, you have to take risks."
"We are not worshipping anyone or anything, we are simply communing with creation."
"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
"When you realized that you would have to ask for help, you did not feel humiliated. And when you learned that someone needed help, you showed them all that you had learned without fearing that you might be revealing secrets or being used by others. To he who knocks, the door will open.He who asks will receive.He who consoles knows that he will be consoled.Even if none of these things happens when you are expecting it to, sooner or later you will see the fruits of the thing you shared with such generosity."
