Rainbow in the Clouds contin inue ued d tra ran nsri sript con

(07:37-07:54) I am grateful to have been loved, and to be loved now, and to be able to love because that liberates. Love liberates, it doesn’t just hold-that’s ego-love liberates. (08:04-09:04) I had a lot of clouds but I have had so many rainbows. And one of the things I do when I step up on the stage, when I stand up to translate, when I go to teach my classes, when I go to direct a movie, I bring everyone who has ever been kind to me with me-black, white, Asian, Spanish-speaking, Native American, gay, straight-everybody! I say, “Come with me, I’m going on the stage. Come with me, I need you now.” Long did, you see, so I don’t ever feel I have no help. I’ve had rainbows in my clouds and the thing to do, it seems to me is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you, may not call God the same name you call God, if they call God at all. (09:12-09:35) There’s no place that God is not, no place-in the prison, in the choir loft, on my knees, God is right there. God is all. As soon as I make the statement, “In God I live and move and have my being. I’m fine, I thank you, I’m fine.” I’m at peace. END.
