Over-coming fear

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

As I bounce back and forth between the searching and the finding, it is the authentic being in each moment that cannot get lost. Authenticity- the aspiration of my writings.

Yes- I have been a spritual shopper. Ranging from Hedonism to Masochism, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism- my "isms" have over time simplified to a view similar mostly to Zen I guess. Yet I try never to confuse the finger with the Moon. Merely pointing at- the failing of my writings.

If I write about something that has happened- it is no more. I write cause I love to write.

If I write about something that I am feeling in the now, then it is merely a feeling of one person. I feel cause I am born to feel.

If I write about something I am thinking might happen in the future, then the toughts are mere thoughts and nothing more. I think cause no matter how hard I try I simply cannot seem to get rid of the little buggers. So I just let them be as they are.
