Butterfinch

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, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are blessed with life.

By playing small you are not serving the world.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

The words above are adapted from
Marianne Williamson’s ‘Our Deepest Fear.’
After years without painting, Red Betty created Butterfinch,
the illustration which began the Natural Quirks collection.
