Dr Steven — great observations. Further, you’re clearly walking your talk, which makes it more valuable, worthy of sharing.
Writing is all about being vulnerable — the unknown response — or worse yet, possibly no response. But it just doesn’t matter when you’re committed to you. If we don’t love the self, first, then we have no love to share.
One other thing about fear — it’s not us, the soul, the Being — it’s the mind that fears. The more we become mind’s observer, instead of the thinker — the more clarity arises. That’s been my walk, anyway ;)
