Autistic & Dangerous Times in USA: Why Fear Isn't My Enemy

What if fear ain't the mind-killer? But the beginning of wisdom... that leads to action?

You love Dune? Like me?

Frank Herbert is dead... wrong.

Fear is NOT the mind-killer. Denial is.

I must honor my fear.
Fear is my guardian. My junkyard dog. My screaming siren.
Fear is the warning of annihilation. It must be heeded.
I will embrace my fear. Then share its wisdom.
I will let it flow through me. Become purpose & strength.
And when we have acted? I will remember… its lessons.
Where the Beast of Fear once stood, we will now stand.
We will abide. Stronger for having feared… then acted… Together.

Living in dangerous times in America. And we got a lot more to fear… than fear itself.
