Fear Not

Be afraid, but fear not.

Be afraid of the dangers we face,

but let not the fear of fear entangle you.

Fear is a protective guardian,

but the fear of fear is a relentless captor.

Trust the body when it says run or hide,

but also trust when it says be still in peace.

A deathless beauty exists in this fleeting moment,

new blooms where branches once laid bare.

Fear not, even if now you are afraid.
