Fear Lies With Loss

Fear lies with loss Will it be love that dies? Will it be a home now gone? Will it be security, finances, Health or loss of life? Fear lies with loss To be alone, stranded, As if walking a barren desert Or deserted street, with nothing left We hold onto what we have, Who we care for, our very beings That which we don't want to lose Fear is that we may or we will - Because in reality we can - - The basis of all fear is loss - Heidi Sands 9/5/18

This write is so spot on for me Heidi. I don't think I even realized why I had such anxiety but I do now and I surely agree your thoughts. Well done Xxoo

We never seem to enjoy our lives to the full, we always think of what if this or that happen, sadly we always have that fear. Tom

I suppose living fully comes with gratitude in the moment. I agree, it is easy to speculate what will happen. Thank you Tom :)
