Beyond Fear

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life -
and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to.

Georgia O'Keeffe

My attention is captivated by
vines of science fiction flowers.
Thousands of tourist have wanted by
these vines without a thought but they gave me pause.



I recall  moments of sheer panic during
my very early years as an undergrad.


There were words I wanted to speak.
Questions I needed to ask.
Yet, my HEART pounded rapidly.
My ability to speak lost.



Never ever give up.
Never ever let the fear paralyze
your spirit.
Press on.
