The Serenity I crave escapes me today…nebulous…just fingertips out of reach.
4 years, 3 months, 6 days and 3 hours. The fear still lives with me. Beneath the surface a giant tentacled sea monster waiting for me to lose my focus so it can ensnare me in is oily embrace.Fear.
Such a waste of psychic energy.
Still...I will not let it defeat me.
So much for which to feel grateful in this life.
Back straight, fists clenched, jaw set; I continue.
Honor his life...his love…treasure the past…fight the fear…live.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
(The Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear. Pg 19 of Dune )
It’s not quite accurate.
I live…hope endures…love remains.
But, I need a friggen' hug.
What a bloomin' whiner.
