Fear

I am afraid that my capacity
to feel so much
will lead me to a condition
where I won’t be allowed
to feel anything.

That is what I fear.
Not being able to feel everything
I know
there is to feel.

And so I remain afraid
because I know
there is much
to fear.

And that’s the beauty of it.

Joy,
I hear you and I completely understand. And yet you and I both know that fear will not keep us from going. So here we go, hand in hand.
