โOur Deepest Fearโ by Marianne Williamson is a popular contemporary poem. It addresses themes of spirituality and inner power.
Williamson's background as a spiritual teacher and political activist profoundly shapes this poem's unique fusion of self-help empowerment and spiritual dignity. Her work with "Course in Miracles" teachings influences the poem's emphasis on divine potential, while her later political aspirations echo in its call for collective transformation. The piece demonstrates her characteristic blend of accessible wisdom with deeper spiritual truths.
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.
