Those were the days, our friends knocking,

6 Am ... time to go jogging, on the beach training.

Run out to the airport and back,

All us kids who excelled at track.

The smell of breakfast a sweet lure,

Mom and Dad hustling out the door.

Summer vacation in full delightful swing,

Home alone to do our own thing.

Chores done and time to play,

Friends all gathered by middle of the day.

Cricket and football in the street,

Never mind the hot summer heat.

A full day thoroughly enjoyed so much,

Guys and girls all at play no bad touch.

Such fun with boats run, the food a delight,

We had great times, remember those days so right.

Host Alphonso Castro takes his musical trip around the world on this and every Tuesday evening.

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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
