Don't just hide fear—wipe it out
Estela M. G. de Milone
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Though I'm now an adult, the childhood memory of walking to the orchard with my father is still vivid. I can feel my dad’s callused hands resting on my shoulder, and recall how eagerly I looked forward to the pears and figs the old trees offered.
There was one scary obstacle, however: we had to cross a field dominated by a rather aggressive ram.
Each time we reached the field, my dad would grip my shoulder firmly and say in a low voice, “Do not show fear! That will only make him more daring.”
