FEAR Fear is thy most bitter of enemies Yet at times it is the Protector of Survival. When there is a threat to life or limb or safety We muster unknown physical strength to overcome obstacles of death and destruction. Our fight takes on proportions of bravery which are never recognized in significance until we have the clear vision of hindsight. However, that which becomes our enemy is the Unknown. It lurks in the darkest corners of our mind and grows into paralyzing proportions. It tricks our every sense giving rise to signals that tremble our innards rushes our blood and hastens our breath. We allow it to grow first infinitesimally then by logarithmic proportions until it fills every cell of our body. The immobility, the withdrawal the fear of our greatest fears slowly begins to shapen in our mind’s eye. Loss of control, loss of sanity, total rejection, loss of power, loss of wealth, loss of life, All forms of loss feed this enemy called fear. Only when we can let go freely does the fear subside. Only when we have ample information does the fear subside. Only when we give ourself reassurance does the fear subside. Only when we possess naught does the peace and serenity overcome this dreaded enemy. |
