Nick is not one to give quotes but last night he told me that he read a quote that had stayed with him all day:

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is prioritizing something else over your fear.

I getting in touch with my fear. Like, the tranquil pond of fear that lies still, almost deceivingly still. But it’s there. I’m lighting all kinds of headlights and flashlights around it, investigating its depth, source, and damage to the land it sits in (read: my life).

I suppose I could dive in, but I don’t feel ready for that. Not yet.

But soon. Yes.

Soon, I will dive in and come back, soaked in truth.
