I didn't read the novel Dune until I was in my fifties. Then I wished I'd read it as a teen, like most of my generation. It is the "litany against fear" from Dune that I find myself repeating quietly under my breath every time I have to go into a new situation that involves people I've never met. (Sometimes even shopping is difficult.) I know you know this. I'm just reminding myself here--because I've had to use it a lot lately....<br />Fear is the mind killer.<br />Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.<br />I will face my fear.<br />I will permit it to pass over me and through me....S Kay Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631953082915369422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-21168725477309465002016-08-15T23:49:39.199-07:002016-08-15T23:49:39.199-07:00I find myself driving around crying of late, and I...I find myself driving around crying of late, and I don't have much of an anxiety problem.

So much. <br />I have seen that dancing man and wondered at him.<br />No, not THAT one, specifically, but I swear- could have been. Who knows? Maybe he (they) ARE saving us with their dance. <br />If so, I thank them.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
