ON FEAR
Some people are afraid of nature;
others are afraid of their own nature.
Some people are afraid of aging.
(We’re told life belongs to the young.)
Others are afraid of the power of age.
(They retreat rather than surge.)
Some people are afraid of women.
Others bring us along to avoid their own fears.
Some people are afraid of being naked.
Others are unaware...
their actions reveal far more than
removing their clothing ever could.
Some people are afraid of being exposed.
Others share too much,
hoping the noise hides their deeper fears.
Some fear being vulnerable.
(It feels like weakness to them.)
Others find power by hiding.
No matter.
I long to see you naked, really naked,
wearing only your soul and your true nature.
I am all of these people. Saying this out loud lifts me out of the scary scum. I don’t know how. I only know Now. My personal work has been to diminish the fears that froze me out of a full life. My photographic work is an invitation to join me in the wildness of nature, to free the wildness in your own nature, to care for that which is precious. ~ Roxanne
