“Fear No More”

So on a summer’s day

Waves collect

Overbalance, and fall;

Collect and fall;

and the whole world seems to be saying “THAT IS ALL”

more and more ponderously until

even the heart in the body which lies in the sun on the beach says too ‘THAT IS ALL’.

“Fear no more,” says the heart, “fear no more,” says the heart, committing it’s burden to some sea

Which sighs collective for all sorrows and renews, begins, collects, lets fall. - Virginia Woolf

All this to say, go to the beach. Sit in the sun. Let your body feel the bigness of nature. Yes, our fears can feel big when we try to hold all of it in our human sized bodies. But my love, sit on the shore and with your eyes take in the vastness of the sea. Then stand up in your strength, take steps toward the waves, then in to the waves. Keep walking until you feel the waves hit your knees, then your heart, then wash over your shoulders and you taste the salt as you stand there, the ocean floor beneath your feet, your toes gripping the wet sand and you sway to and fro; but you don’t fall, the water holds you as you to commit your burdens to the sea.
