Reflection on fear

An appropriate 'reflective' image for how I'm feeling right now. This was taken in the Millennium Library in Norwich on a morning when I was feeling a bit scared and anxious about the future, but deep down I know that panicking is not the answer. I need to reflect, take stock and have faith. Having said that I don't have a particular faith - if anything, I'm sort of buddh-ish.

And as I sit here doing this blip I see on the wall in front of me a meditation entitled 'Just for Today' - it has eight points to it but right here, right now, this one leaps out at me:

I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy that which is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me
