I think that is THE tricky thing about fear: When do we let it guide us to safety? And when is it for our growth calling us to move through it with faith and courage? Thanks for you comments.

And yes, I've read that. I used to LOVE it, but it has diminished somewhat for me over the years. He paints a picture that is a little more tortured and absent of some important stuff out than I think works for me. Thanks, Laura!

Can't there be wisdom in waiting? Is it only fear that inspires us to wait, to draw back, to protect our most tender selves? Maybe both sides must give over to Love, to It, to God before giving over to each other. That's not easy to do. But it can be done NOW. There need not be any more waiting. Thank you for sharing this; it moved me. I was never YOUR you, but I have been this you, I am this you. Can’t there be wisdom in waiting?
