Letting
"We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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." Marianne Williamson A while back, I woke up one morning with a gentle rendition of this song: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" in my head. Over the years, I've learned to pay attention to which song is in my head on waking, particularly if it's not something I've listened to recently. I recognize these as direct messages from my unconscious psyche, and often they hold a very healing and pertinent piece of information in their title or lyrics. As I hadn't heard this particular little song for many years, I wondered where it had come from? And why was it playing in my head now? I looked it up and found that it was written in the 1920s for children to teach them about Jesus and that it also became a popular gospel song.
