Day One Hundred and Sixty-seven

Thinking about fearlessness and meditation. It's all very well to presume to be fearless when there is nothing powerful confronting us. It is as easy to presume to be unable to handle things when the trouble associated with those things is not yet here. Projection is strong, but not strong enough to meet reality. It is an achievable goal to be fearless here, now... to be free of holding on to anger here, to be free of holding on to pleasure or pain. Even projections can be freed with a close touch of what of them is already here, then letting go, returning to touch the stone, this moment.
