Fear.
If something is so strong
that it cannot be broken,
then there is no fear of it being broken.
If something has no sides
and cannot be found,
then there is no fear of it being broken.
If we realise that this thing
that is so strong,
that has no sides,
and that cannot be found
is our own essence,
then there is no fear of it being broken.
We only fear because
we think we are not strong,
have sides,
and can be found.
Our essence is unbreakable.
Indestructible.
Undeniable.
Unimaginable.
PS I still carry a residue of fears from my childhood – don’t we all? – which makes me doubt everything I do… it’s something we have to live with…
.
Of course there is a healthy fear of being stuck in the ocean confusion of Samsara.
However having a good set of water wings -compassion and wisdom, seems to help!
