It blurs one's vision.
Maybe it appears out of nowhere.
Maybe it has been there all along.
One day we find it holding us back.
We don't know how to name it.
We oppress the feeling
Not knowing how to distinguish it.
A friend may call it a Gremlin.
Another may call it the Enemy.
But essentially it is the same;
We call it Fear.
If we say we experience no fear,
We have accepted the lie of the enemy.
If we say we only know fear,
We have accepted the control of the Enemy.
Naming it declares the secret.
Naming it releases its hold.
Naming it brings understanding.
Naming it removes its authority.
To go beyond naming the fear
Requires the courage of one's spirit.
To move through the fear
Brings forth strength.
