There are times when I can’t find it.
The fear that was so heavy – the one that might jump out and catch me off guard.
There are moments when I don’t see it, so I go looking for it.
For fear that if I misplace it, I won’t be able to control which direction it will come from.
Not realizing that by doing so, fear itself is now in control.
I’ve become a puppet to fear and it doesn’t really have to show up anymore.
Because I’m doing it’s job all by myself.

Wow! Your message is simple yet profound! How easy to trick ourselves into thinking that looking for our fears is allowing them to be in control. Thank you so much. 🙂

It’s fascinating how we pause in the midst of everything and focus on one thing. This poet made an excellent book out of one such feeling – betrayal. It will bring you on.
