Fear and Love

To fear is to face the unknown.

To love is to know that you are known.

Fear is a tight chest and clenched fists.

Love is an easy exhale and open arms.

Fear wonders whose house this is and what’s behind that door.

Love knows the key is under the cactus and that’s the pantry.

Fear starts in the head and goes to the heart.

Love starts in the heart and goes to the head.

Fear is like standing on the edge of a cliff.

Love is like standing on the edge of a cliff.

Fear pins your feet to the ground.

Love holds your hand and tells you to jump.
