I've been in many conversations recently that have caused me to spend some time thinking about how fear can easily hide. I have come to find out that everything I did in my life up to the spring of 06 was done out of fear...and I mean everything. Even all the things I would have considered and most other people would consider to be positive things were motivated by fear.
Today I am so aware of the reality of fear being pushed from my life by the ever growing reality of myself being loved and being accepted and being safe with Father Son and Spirit. The beginning of this transition was certainly painful and scary, but fear is losing any space to hide inside my mind because of this realization. The world looks much differently.

Hey, get out of my head, will ya? :)
I was listening to this song just yesterday in the car. I do love this song, it gives me a warm, cosy ... comforted kind of feeling??
And then this morning, in my morning pages I was writing about how fear often still hides in me until I acknowledge it, about how there are still vestiges of it in pockets of my life even though I am starting to walk in this love of the 3. But still, even if occasionally it is disconcerting to me to realise how far I have to go (to my pride and ego I guess mainly) I know that it just takes as long as it's gonna take. God's timing really is pretty amazing :)
Good stuff
where were you writing about it?
anyway, isn't that cool and isn't this a great message? It should make us feel warm and cozy and very very safe.
Every morning I write three pages of longhand, just stream of consciousness whatever crap. Not like a diary. More just a way of getting whatever is swirling around in my head down on the page. 80% of the time it's pretty much swirling crap. 20% of the time there is real profundity that comes out, or I am able to externalise things that have been worrying me or whatever. It's a pretty cool thang, part of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
It is a fantastic message. I think I'm going to blog about it, actually :)
Wow, Kent.
Amazing that you bring this up. I am actually in the process of blogging about how I have been so content, in the past, to stay hidden in my fear. Yes, fear hides, and I'm a great hider. I usually hide behind agreement. It's always been the easiest road. Problem is, I got so used to hiding, I ended up hiding from myself. I'm only just now beginning to find me. Who am I anyways? Fear has disguised me well.
Loved the video, too. Very compelling, with the verses. I'll be back. Thanks for your comment on my blog! Good to know you're reading.
free spirit, I'm sure you have been on my blog enough to know by now that music and it's influence on me plays a big part here.
Well, your comment made me think of some lyrics which happens often.
I’m afraid I’ve lost the piece of me
I need the most you see
This puzzle is really just about the need
To be somebody
I’m afraid I’m not all that you see
All along the coast of me
I’m camouflaged, a desert mirage
A nobody
It's cool to hear that you are emerging from that hiding place.
