Some thoughts on fear.......

I was listening to some Krishnamurti and loved what he said about fear, "Fear is not present without time or thought". In relationship to time and fear, it is so embedded in either the concept of past or future. We've all heard it so many times and yet so many times it is good to remember. We have everything we need to deal with the moment and this moment only. The story I remember most often was one of Corrie Ten Boom. She had seen a baby that was dead when she was young and that night said: Daddy, promise you won't die. He wisely said he couldn't do that and that when the time came, she would have the Grace she needed. Corrie dear, like when we go on the train, I only give you the ticket when we are getting on because that is when you need it. That is how Grace is. It only comes when you need it and if you imagine things you fear, there is no Grace there and it seems impossible to deal with. So, don't imagine those fears and trust you will have Grace when you need it. Ahhhh, to remember to stay present. I do sense that is where Grace lives.
