Fear

I received a 'preliminary diagnosis" a few weeks ago. it's for a progressive illness that manifests in ways I prefer to not get into.  I've face AIDS, addiction, a stroke, a dozen broken bones, death of my father, divorce and what not.  This maybe just another stumbling block on my journey to the world. Regardless fear sets in.  
Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
"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 allow my fear to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn my inner eye to see its path. And where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." (From Frank Herbert's Dune)
