Our Deepest Fear is Not That We Are Inadequate: the 4th Seed of Hope & Kindness
Here is the 4th Seed which has just been “germinated” for you:
"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… As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

One recent hot weekend in Perth, when the cool indoors called, I made my way through a pile of newspaper articles dating back to 1997.
The first article was dated 20th December 1997 and called “Last Anzac fought for family values.” It told of the death of Ted Matthews a few weeks earlier. At 101 he was the last original Anzac. The journalist interviewed his daughter, Irene Phillips, about him.
