Ode
to Fear
Lifelong
have you hounded me,
thwarted
my surrender,
the
great contradiction being,
as
my constant companion,
you
have also been the compelling force
in
my flight toward surrender.
For
that, I begrudgingly give you credit.
God
by definition is fearless, so why and how
do
you manifest so inherently in His children?
Per
the Mystics, you are merely
one
aspect of God’s everything,
an
illusory absence
in
the eternal essence of Love.
O
these incongruities and contradictions!
Such
is my life on the battlefield
which
underneath (They tell me)
has
always been a vast green and fragrant meadow
leisurely
raked by the random summer winds.
O
child of God, where there is love, said Meher,
there is no
fear. Where there is fear there is no
love.
