I can be a victim,
Overwhelmed and wanting out,
Or summon forth my warrior,
And triumph over doubt.
So that’s it! The warrior goes forth regardless of the fear of death, the fear of loss, and the fear of failure. The pilot doing the nose dive, the lover expressing their love, the mother giving birth. All these involve, not denying our fear, not ignoring our fear, not pretending or suppressing our fear, but carrying our fear right with us on our journey forward!
Mars has a Moon, Phobia, that is always orbiting the red planet, our fear is always there. Some fear is healthy in that it keeps us alive. Fear is rooted in the ego’s fear of death as it is the ego’s job to keep our body alive so we can evolve through this 3D physical time/space reality. It actually gives us shots of adrenaline to keep us present, alert, strong, and ready. It’s only when it becomes the dominating factor in our decision making that it goes beyond it’s usefulness and turns negative. So we have to walk the line.
In some ways, fear is the opposite of love and the line is that middle ground between the two, between self preservation and connection, between isolation and co-dependence, between too many boundaries and no boundaries. Once again we end up coming back to the wise words of Buddha: ”All things in moderation.” May you walk the line with beauty, grace, and style!
