Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.<br /> -Thich Nhat Hanh


I'm not cold that's not why I am shivering. I'm not scared either. When the wind blows through my hair, it picks me up, and takes me to a higher Rock, suddenly I'm above all. It's like having the weight lifted off your shoulders. A feeling you get when you have so much to say or something so important, but you can't. So over the time all this anger and sadness and excitement balls up inside you. You go to bed each night thinking if or when this feeling and emotion is going to take over, I mean, what do you do then? We can't just say we're sorry for all the things we feel inside ourselves. We are human. We have thoughts, but is it our fault if we let these feelings hide beneath our strengths? How do we rid our brains of these feelings without help we need? There are no words to describe every feeling and thought of hatred, worthlessness, and loneliness. That is why, why I cannot just write everything down in the time of my life. So, what do you do when you aren't cold but you're shivering, or you're thinking about nothing?

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go. Only one of two things will happen: either He&#039;ll catch you when you fall, or He&#039;ll teach you how to fly!

I just wanted to say, thank you for this poem.
