Fear

In recent years I have learned to “hold hands with the dragon” of my fears.  It’s still a little strange to me because, on the one hand, I know my fears to be totally illusory and that they probably will never even happen.  On the other hand, they feel very real.  What I do is embrace the fears by feeling them, writing and talking about them.  While also laughing about them and referring to them as “vapor”, not to be taken seriously.  At this point in my life, that approach works for me.
