The Fear Factor

When fear grips your soul, and you are prevented from even being able to put one foot in front of the other, how do you proceed? The human soul is capable of feeling pain at depths that are unimaginable. Pain, both physical and emotional, is capable of shifting the landscapes of our being. I watched as physical pain reduced my absolute hulk of a father to a very fragile man that I had to be cautious with how hard I hugged him. I have watched loneliness and the lack of affection turn friends of mine into something barely resembling a human being, and more likely resembling Golem from "The Lord of the Rings."

I simply do not have the answer, my friends.

We each have our burdens to bear, and our crosses to carry. I wish each of you a lighter load, along with a life full of laughter and love.

I understand how crippling both kinds of pain can be. I've had pain like that, and it's not pretty. The only bright side to feeling that kind of pain is that it makes you truly appreciative of its lack in better days.
