A friend brings up this quotation every so often as a reminder to . . . well, let your light shine. Every so often, when I think that being me is just not enough, I think of this, and that maybe being me
would be enough if I would get on with doing that -- to the max that I can. I'm better at presenting some muted version of me that conforms with who I think I
should be. So. . . a good reminder to "BRING IT" as my new personal-trainer-via-DVD Tony Horton says.
[Did you ever think I'd be quoting from the lost Gospels of Jesus?]
"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
-Jesus (from the Gospel of Thomas)

In the wise words of Eddie Vedder, Hard Sun:
Whenn I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
And,I, I see her inner charm
She just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her rules back again

End song lyrics. Of course, he was talking about the sun. Translate them as you will. I always do.
