"To be great is to be misunderstood."

 

 

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
- from Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are, we are, we are.

••• Hi, Spring. Hi, new life. Hi abundance that is always available at every second. Feeling these words from @dr_clarissa_pinkola_estes DEEP in the soul space. •••

We do not become healers.
We came as healers.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.


We came as carriers of the stories 
we and our ancestors actually lived.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists.


We came as artists.


We are.


Some of us are still catching up to what we are.


We do not become writers…dancers…musicians…helpers…peacemakers.


We came as such.


We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.


We do not learn to love in this sense.


We came as Love.


We are Love.


Some of us
 are still catching up
 to who 
we
 truly are.
