People who can't adapt to change will become extinct. Fear cripples our thoughts, paralyzes our movements. There is nothing to fear except fear itself. But if we move beyond the realm of fear, the possibilities of achievement are breathtaking.<br /><br />A wonderful poem with awesome word portraits.<br />A treat to the eyes and soul.<br /><br />Have a lovely day Rose:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698721485382133195.post-34004815538261728262009-08-27T19:17:01.963-04:002009-08-27T19:17:01.963-04:00Gail, YES, the storm known, the calm welcomed, the...Gail, YES, the storm known, the calm welcomed, the experience eternal.

"life's shores beseiged by fear" - the source of so much oft unnecessary pain.<br /><br />It is clear that these lines come from someone who is not imagining what it is like, but who has been there and back . . . the bore into the heart.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.com
