To truly listen is to unlatch the door of the mind, letting words drift in like dust motes in sunbeams, no need to catch or rephrase. To observe others is to glimpse their unique constellations, without the harsh light of comparison dimming your own. And to live truthfully is to shed the many-layered costumes, standing bare in the honest air of simply being.
Perhaps the quest is not to banish fear, to sweep it from the heart's quiet corners. But rather, to share the space with it. To know its shadow lingers, yet feel, with unwavering certainty, that its hand no longer guides the tiller of your ship, nor dictates the unfolding of your days.
