FEAR.DREAD.TERROR.ALARM.PANIC.

A cage with no door.
 A room with no windows. 
A wall with  no way over, under, or around.

This is fear to me. 

Fear holds me back from seeing that coveted greener pasture, 
from walking that yellow brick road, 
from reaching down that rabbit hole.
Fear is a limiter.
It creates blockades in an otherwise free street. 
It warns us and delays us 
from reaching our potential
and breaking free from the earth and making friends with clouds.
Worthless cliffs placed directly before our goal is met. 
Trying to tempt us, control us.
Fears tears us down like streamers after a party. 
They stop us, 
block us, 
weaken us. 
But they give us
 perspective, 
safety, 
stability, 
contrast.


 How would we now how freeing life can be when we take a leap of faith,
 if we never feared the possibility of hitting the ground?

Reach for the stars
and
 Don't fear the clouds, 
They are there to catch you if you fall.
