On Fearlessness
You, my friend, are fearless
And if you think otherwise, please,
Please, know that you can be fearless,
Just as you are, right now
How so? Simply this: Understand that fear
Only exists in the past or the future
You know that from your own experience
Don’t believe me? Please think, my friend
Think back to a time when you were
Exposed to grave physical danger
Do you remember how, it seemed,
That time, itself, slowed down?
That was you, living fully in the present moment
Remember? There was no danger or fear; only
Whatever action was needed in the moment
This is the power of being fully present
And so, my friend, please free your mind
From its shackles of the past and the future
Abide in the timeless, eternal Now, and know
This is where Peace and Love reside
Go there often, my friend,
Return again and again,
Be that which is your true nature
And become fearlessness itself
