## Content

I observe something and I feel the fear rise up within me. It grabs hold of my thought patterns, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, like a wave crashing then receding on the beach. But it’s there and it won’t go away. Like the wave. Even if I don’t look at it, I feel it. It’s in my subconscious. The energy, the noise. It’s worry. Worry about what might happen. Worry about what I don’t know. For a moment, the worry is helpful. It’s a blessing. It raises my awareness to a potential threat. But only for a moment. How long before I either do something or let the worry go completely? Lingering worry, without action, is like a cancer that metastasizes. Eventually, it causes immobility. And then the fears are realized.
