When it is a seedling, that’s all it’s supposed to be, and it is a whole seedling. Nothing is lacking, nothing is incomplete, it has everything it needs. It does not have all the parts of the oak yet. Yet, it has all the parts of itself."

15:00 - Abby reads a quote from "A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of 'A Course in Miracles'" by Marianne Williamson:

• “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 we 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 is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
