“The other day someone I know posted a quote from the poet Mary Oliver, “Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?â€� And I almost began to cry. I kept thinking of how scared I’ve been, how scared many of us have been during these years of the pandemic. And of course, it’s not just the pandemic, so many overwhelming fears. I read that quote and I suddenly longed for breath. For relief. For the end of fear.”

out? Certainly, in World War I, he considered himself one. He
attributed his survival to it. But then, is there cowardice in the
acknowledgment of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you
lived?
- Hans Hubermann”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“It is no wonder women have a reputation for patience which is not shared by men. We spend so much of our time waiting. Waiting for a child to be born. Waiting for a man to come home, from the fields, from the sea, from battle. Waiting endlessly for news. That can be the worst, as fear bites deep at the vitals, and seizes the heart with chill fingers. The mind can make strange and horrible pictures, while you are waiting.”
― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows

“It is not inability itself, but the feeling of powerlessness that breeds fear. That fear then breeds hatred. And hatred, the spawn of fear and powerlessness, leads us to ruin.”

“Africa is a sleeping lion, the day it awakens, it’ll sleep no more. But I fear that day may never come. We are our enemy, and only the enemy within makes the enemy outside harm us. The truth hurts.”
― Emmanuel Apetsi

“Fear is generally considered a negative emotion that occurs in response to a threat of danger or harm. This is a natural response meant to protect the human being from pain, injury, or death. Experiencing a sense of fear in worldly life leads a person to run away with dread or to avoid situations where the feared object may be present. The important point, however, is that nothing should be feared more than Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).”
― Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective

― Ranjani Rao, Rewriting My Happily Ever After - A Memoir of Divorce and Discovery

“Don’t be afraid to do your part. You will only be proud of the things you do, not the things you were afraid to do because of what someone said.”
― Ranjani Rao, Rewriting My Happily Ever After - A Memoir of Divorce and Discovery

“It requires some courage to break a taboo [around the high likelihood of climate-induced collapse, as opposed to mere climate disruption]. It requires some courage to make people aware of darkness that they had not seen before or had turned away from. Especially when that darkness is not in the changing climate and the institutions that have damaged our world, but is also within us. Because we have all participated in both the creation of this disaster and the ignoring of it. Or being satisfied with ineffectual action that provided us with a believable myth of being a good person. As such, climate chaos is an invitation to go deeper into self-reflection and learn about why we have participated in such destruction. From that inquiry we may find ways of living that avoid making matters worse. Bringing attention to the darkness around us, ahead of us and inside of us is essential if we are then to light candles of wisdom. People who are bringing attention to the darkness are also lighting candles of wisdom. Candles only shine within darkness. As more candles are lit, so we can see each other anew. We can connect with what is burning inside our hearts and live from that truth more fully than before.”
― Jem Bendell

― Jasmina Alexander
