Our Deepest Fear

By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.

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.

Roadhouse Blues

The Doors, formed in 1965, are one of the most iconic rock bands in history, known for their unique sound and poetic lyrics. Led by the enigmatic Jim Morrison, the band seamlessly blended rock, blues, and psychedelic music, creating a distinctive style that still influences musicians today.

One of their standout tracks, “Roadhouse Blues,” showcases the band’s bluesy roots. Released on their 1970 album “Morrison Hotel,” the song is a tribute to the gritty, raw energy of rock and roll. Its driving rhythm and lively piano riffs, played by Ray Manzarek, capture the spirit of the era and the band’s love for la vida loca.

Lyrically, “Roadhouse Blues” reflects a sense of freedom and rebellion. Morrison’s charismatic delivery invites listeners to join in on a night of carefree revelry, soaking in the atmosphere of a dive bar. This song, like many of The Doors’ tracks, emphasizes themes of escapism and existential reflection, hallmarks of Morrison’s poetic style.

With its infectious energy and timeless appeal, “Roadhouse Blues” remains a staple in classic rock and a perfect example of The Doors’ innovative approach to music. Whether it’s the powerful instrumentation or the evocative lyrics, the song encapsulates the spirit of a generation and solidifies The Doors’ legendary status in the annals of rock history.

Tell Me…

“Life passes like a flash of lightning, whose blaze barely lasts long enough to see. While the earth and sky stand still forever, how swiftly changing time flies across man’s face. O you who sit over your full cup and do not drink, tell me – for whom are you still waiting?” Hermann Hesse
