Reena’s Exploration Challenge #161- Light

https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2020/11/12/reenas-exploration-challenge-161

PROMPT #161- I invite you to meditate on the light this week, and share your take on the subject.

• 

absence of light 

is the root cause of all our fears

let the light reach

the dark corners

of  mind, and heart

and enlighten the soul
to accept,

it’s okay to have 
some flaws

some flowers

give their fragrance at night best

let me accept

light and darkness both

and

unshackle me

from fears

Reena’s Exploration Challenge # 132

Would you like to write something in a similar spirit, or just carry this ahead – in prose or poetry? Can you think of a story or anecdote or historical tale on the same theme? It should basically be a story of survival strategies.

 

Instead of driving the fears out of my way, I allowed them to drive me into failure, depression, and low self-esteem.

Then one day I decided to face my fears, and drive them away before they make me crazy.

And I found out that it was my fears that made the things look difficult,  bigger, and frightening than they were in reality.

Driveaway the fear with courage because 

Vulnerable is the mightiest,

Helpless is the seer,

Insecure is the richest,

When driven by the fear

Limerick Challenge Week 44: Horror

There are ghosts in my closet I fear

They come out of it when no one is near

They are not fearful

They make me cheerful

And sing song which only I can hear

Daily Prompt- Fearless Fantasies

Daily Prompt –

How would your life be different if you were incapable of feeling fear? Would your life be better or worse than it is now? (Thanks, Nique Lektra, for inspiring this prompt!)

Fearless Fantasies

If I’m incapable of feeling fear, life would be very weird.  I may enter a house on fire to save someone, catch a live cobra, jump off a high story building, and play dangerous games.

I’ll not feel fear of death, loneliness, sickness, poverty, hunger, old age, powerlessness, committing crime, sin, everything which normal beings are afraid of.  Seems nice, no? No fear of darkness, cyclone, any disaster. 

Wouldn’t it be an abnormal life because fear is a mechanism brain is empowered for survival? 

Fear is that part of subconscious that makes you careful, reasonable and logical. It safeguards you from many disasters or committing crime or getting hurt. 

Is being incapable of feeling fear same as fearlessness?

In my opinion feeling fear, then trying to overcome it and be brave is better than being incapable of  feeling fear.

Age has seasoned me so I thought

Life will be easy no distraught

But scare of dementia

Hampered my inertia

In the web of fear I’m caught
