Times of Fear



Fear is a very important emotional response we have in our collection. We entertain it, carry it, and even nurture it.

When the fear of hunger, shelter, and safety becomes irrelevant, we choose the fear of going hungry, becoming homeless, or being unsafe. 

One thing we fear the most is time. 

We entertain the fear of not having enough time after starting over, and not making it to the fearful end. Of not doing enough, or not doing it right in the time given.

We harbor the fear of time that has passed, and that which is yet to come – of the familiar and the unfamiliar.

We carry the fear of being new when so much time has gone by, and of feeling old when time has been so very still.

We nurture the fear of not having time to finish what we had started and of not starting what we have always wanted to finish.

We fear the time in which we live, and the time when it starts to change.
