No fear! No fear! says the slogan on jeans and bumpers but life is not a slogan! How many know what lies beyond the ancient barrier of fear we have called death? Who has captured the eagle to ride his mighty wings over the highest mountains and seen the other side? Who has understood the curse in the face of God? the longing in the face of Satan? Who has measured the distance between these polarities? Have I? Do I know-- and if I said I did-- why would you believe me when you can’t believe yourself? |

I love that slogan....because when I see it on some tee-shirt, I know it really means "I hope you don't see how scared I am"...... and THAT lets me know, I'm not alone. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

If courage is moving forward boldly despite fear, then living well despite fear, is the sword. To deny, is to live unconsciously, with a wet noodle. Always like your bold thoughts WW! |
