Existing in Peace

Today I met with three men of a substantial range of ages, from very young adult to close to my own age.  With each of them I was struck by how much of their actions were determined by some sort of fear.  Fear and avoidance of some sort determined most of their behaviors.  The same used to be true of me.  I existed within a constant state of anxiety and fear.  Since then I have come to rely on the guidance of God, realized that I am not in charge and come to realize that the universe is unfolding just fine.
