Fear
Jen Lemen, in her post the Mean Reds, reminds us that sometimes we find ourselves afraid and we don’t really know what we are afraid of. In these times we need to remember that it is only fear and that we can find it within ourselves to overcome that fear. We just have to be reminded to overcome it and not allow it to hold us back. She shares with us a wonderful saying and song that help her when she needs to overcome fear and let go.
“Of course, there’s nothing to do, except acknowledge that fear is at the bottom of it, and whenever I’m afraid it’s always this phrase running through my head. Perfect love casts out all fear. This always comforts me, because I know that while ordinary human love is often hard to come by, a strange infinite kind seems ever available.”
Recognizing Barriers
In her post Pema Friday, Jena shares with us a quote from Pema Chodron. Here Pema tells us that it is natural for us to put up barriers to our heart and to shy away from love and kindness. Although this is a natural reaction, what is important is that we recognize our barriers, and admit we have them so that we may begin to work towards dissolving them. Enjoy the full quote from Pema to see what she says about the importance of recognizing when we begin to shut down and put up barriers.
