(I’d also like to note that it’s all very well for “it” to proclaim that we have nothing to fear. Actually, I agree with that statement, while also being quite aware of my own humanness and the numerous pitfalls, real and imagined, that could stand between my performance and feeling as an individual and that greater state where there isn’t anything to fear. We’ll see how the two work together to solve the challenge—if we do solve it.
