To Love Our Fear

To Love Our Fear 1999~ Alan Graham
Sometimes in the stretch of our lives we find there is a need to write...This is my time to write... To communicate to all of you that which I have found within me... To reveal that which has molded me into the person I am today... These trials of perspective and faith have been sometimes brutal in nature and also blissful in design. From the perils of addiction to the realization of the spirit within, I have lived a lifetime in the thirty years of my existence... The word thirty has a lot more meaning that I ever thought it could... Thirty, representing three full decades of existence in a body I seldom believed would possibly see so many years of existence. There are truths to existence that by design, so few ever realize in our societal structure... I have seen in others that which is known deep within myself. For we can only see that which we know to be within us... Whenever I look into the faces of fear garnished throughout our world, I have found there to be a lacking of faith, not only in a higher power, but a faith in ourselves... How can a man trust anyone else, lest he does not trust himself? Likewise is the world of true love... Love is truly the tie that binds the whole... For we are one whole in the grand design... Living each moment by the sum of our experience. Each life forever changing our perspective as it touches us in the core of our being... To feel the love within others is to embrace it within ourselves. Fear is that which separates soul fulness from being human. It is truly by our souls that we are alive. Likewise it is by our souls do we feel the love that shows our true passion to the world. Give the world that which is of the soul and we will all have the glory and bliss of the universe forever shining from deep within us... It is merely there waiting to be embraced...
