Believing in ourselves

" We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit."

~~e.e. cummings

Thanks to Catherine for sending this quote to me. Plus, e.e. cummings is one of my favorite poets.

what if no one reveals that to us? can we discover this on our own?
