Oh, Wiz, this does not make me feel anxious or concerned but rather settles my heart. Sure, I’m scared. Uncertainty. Not knowing. Nearing retirement,being unsure if my “pile” of money will still be there. Not knowing if social security will still be there. Wondering how my children will fair through all this. Wanting to inform them and protect them and yet understanding they must figure it out on their own…..

ALL the feelings.

And yet, there is a peace that your insights and writings have brought me.

It’s the same feeling of sitting in a kayak at the top of a really challenging rapid or staring down a scary, chunky section of trail on my mountain bike. I don’t “want” to do it. I’m scared, and yet I know how amazing it will feel to have navigated it.

That is where I stand now. I’d really rather stay “safe” and yet I know I can’t. The growth is on the other side of fear.

Love your take on the Iberian Lynx being an omen, I thought the same. Also looking forward to the fog lifting in the not too distant future!
