Fear can be turned inside out—into excitement!
Say, for example, one has a fear to speak out in public; yet, inside out, it is the excitement of having many listeners attending to what you say, plus they are all naked!
Oh, thou soul, dare to live near the edge;
Brave the walk of the line, balancing fun
There between adventure and misfortune—
For the greatest blunder in life is to
Repeatedly fear that you might make one.
Hail! Lord Byron’s Golden Mean extends:
Let us have wine, lovers, song, and laughter—
Water, chastity, prayer the day after.
Such we’ll alternate the rest of our days—
So, on the average, we’ll make Hereafter!
From its safe subjective place that’s free of fear,
The higher self, our Conscious Awareness, can witness
The strange thoughts and emotions that surface
On the mind, sent there by the subconscious brain.
I fear not death, Heaven, or even Hell—
For death is only life’s natural knell,
And Heaven and Hell are within myself;
The one thing I fear is not living well!
