Any Feedback on this would be most appreciated, thank you!!


Have we become prisoners of our fears
We are living but not really here
Because we are afraid of change
Life is easier when you live the same
Existing within what light has shown
Scared to step towards the unknown
Creating our own limitations
Trapped by creations of our imaginations
Preconceived notions lead to distorted perceptions
Our lives don't have to be filled with deception
Perhaps one day we will face our fears one by one
Fear should not interfer with who we are to become
And yet we are living but not really here
We have all become prisoners of our fears...

As one who knows too well about being a prisoner of one's own fears, you have written well of it.
If we do not face our fears head on....we will sadly miss out on life in general. But, it is easier said than done - especially in this day and age. You have touched on all of that.    Chris

(big angel hugs) It certainly feels that way now, doesn't it? (sad sigh) I've come to learn that fear amounts to nothing but more sorrows and anger in the world, dearest friend, only the fear of God is the sole appropriate fear in my opinion, as A.C Benson said, "The worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortune, but its fears." (sad sigh) Peace must begin with oneself, within the heart, and once one loves oneself, only then can you spread it to others. If the Administration has any heart right now, they should begin to start ruling with love and govern with the manifestation of love, as they are only creating matters worse for the world, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

enjoyed the write, Shady
throw away that fear blanket

the chills of the world should be felt full force, then dealt with by the forces of love and understanding
