fear and the audacity of caring

Last night I had a small

fear related freak out.

But last night is over.

*

This morning

I am determined to feel better

and ready to go take on whatever

gets in my way.

I will not not do something

or not care about something

just because it might not work out.

*

That would be plain silly.

Instead I will work on

and work with the good

that is already around me.

And I will work

to create more of what I want.

***

And I will be brave enough to

care about every last bit of it.
