I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert
(From DUNE, mantra of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood).

One of the many reasons I love you…you quote from Dune!
Sorry I haven’t commented lately…things have been wild around here. Hope you’re doing well, and your mantra is doing it’s work!

This quote from Dune has always spoken to me. I was wandering around my old journals and I had quoted it many years ago. How appropriate it seems now.
