1 ON FREEDOM FROM FEAR

Buddhist scripture:

“The price of freedom is simply choosing to be; liberation is in the mind.”

Excerpt From

When We Were Young and Brave by Hazel Gaynor

If liberation from a fearful mindset is to be mine then which inner strengths must I consciously muster up, every day?

Courage to place my faith in my doctors’ expertise.

Courage to endure physical distress known to accompany chemo.

Courage to withstand the pain of yet another serious surgery

Faith in my loved ones’s unflagging love and support.

Faith in second chances concerning my making a complete recovery

Renewed faith in all of the above, every day, come what may along the way ...

In truth, writing about placing my faith in personal strengths, which had been mine first time around, is far easier than mustering the re-emergence of my spirit’s inner strengths when my energy’s reserve tank is exceptionally low.
