TWO WAYS YOU CAN DEAL WITH FEAR

There are two ways that you can deal with fear:

1. Deny your fear and pretend that you are not afraid.
2. Admit that you are afraid and face your fear.

The first way takes you round and around
in circles of avoidance and projection.
The second way leads you face to face with yourself.

THE BODY

The Body

The body is not bad or inferior in any way.
It is simply temporal.

You will never find ultimate meaning
by satisfying its needs.

Nor might I add will you find ultimate meaning
by denying its needs.
Taking care of the body is an act of grace.
Preoccupation with bodily pleasures or pains
is anything but graceful.
