I just finished “Horizon,” Barry Lopez’s utterly fascinating memoir. It might be the embodiment of this post.

I am afraid and I think that being afraid is part of being a human being. But I am not stopped by my fear. Love is always stronger.
I enjoy your blog and I appreciate all you bring to others.
Stay healthy,
Ali

  i agree, ali. i took it to mean that the fear should not overtake us. things will happen and we will do what we have to do to overcome them and to return to a balanced world once more. fear is an important and very real human emotion, it leads us to do and not do things that will endanger us or others. the idea it to use it in a positive way.
