A few disparate thoughts about what Apple Farm helps me divine in the face of fear

FROM APPLE FARM WRITER, Jo Marie Thompson
​

​A few disparate thoughts about what Apple Farm helps me divine in the face of fear: That humanity is infinitely wiser than we're mostly courageous enough to let on. That courage and faith are particular doorways to the divine. That the charnal grounds and hell realms and endless fearful bardos really are a reflection of this mind and a disguise of the luminous. That though I sometimes feel like a quivering fearful mass alone in my corner of what is, there are, with certainty, others within arms length struggling to ignite the flame in their hands too. That a fearful dark night of the soul can become delicious, restful, nourishing, chthonic divine darkness That what lives us, personally and communally, IS TERRIFYING! in some vital aspect :-)

I have relished all comments on the subject of
fear. Fear and I are old "friends" we have been
together since I can remember. And what fear has given me
has been a path of instruction and motivation, but she still
remains a daunting companion yet one worthy of respect.

    ...it is in part by our response to the great stories of the world  that we too can begin to find, each of us this individual story expressing the symbolic meaning behind the facts of our fate and behind the motives that determine the day-to-day choices of our lives.  -Helen Luke, The Inner Story
