Many of us are conditioned to view the world through a lens of fear
We meet people with caution, the world to us treacherous appears
We are molded by trauma from experiences past
Some our own, and some that have managed to last
For generations, through complex transmission
We navigate relationships on a backdrop of our inhibitions…
*
What if we could replace fear with curiosity?
Approach people with genuine interest, and see
Where we are led, and what we find
Substitute trust for fear in our minds?
It takes courage to let go of fear deeply ingrained
There is a risk of self-inflicting emotional pain
But the reward of establishing a connection deep
With someone we fear is gratifying to reap..
*
Let me be curious, interested, not afraid
There are many lasting connections to be made
Passion...unbridled
