We startled each other
Backing away with eyes of fear
Scurrying
Hiding with our masks on
Afraid of this world
Carrying on
To survive…

Without Fear : Zen Master
Without Fear
During the civil wars in feudal Japan, an invading army would quickly sweep into a town and take control. In one particular village, everyone fled just before the army arrived – everyone except the Zen master. Curious about this old fellow, the general went to the temple to see for himself what kind of man this master was.

Change, Fear and my Inner Child – Nina
Waking up and pondering my soul
I’m addicted to change I think…
It always brings life into a new light; breathing creativity into my soul
Waking up knowing today is going to be something anew
Something to make my heart skip;
Life wasn’t meant to be the repetitive loops of humanity
Life is supposed to be filled with spontaneity
Change is good
I could be addicted to danger too or… fear
The adrenaline of fear or… the conquering of such
Why is safety so comforting anyways?
Does one really have space to grow feeling utterly “safe”?
Mankind would go nowhere
These day people spend a lot more time inside
Technological advances draw us away from nature
And from reality
Addicted to my imagination or simply my playful side
Inner child without cares or worries
I like to dance and run
Free of fear and addicted to change
Danger
I hope it takes me places…
