My Darling, what you feel as fear is so many things. Mostly. It is love. (For yourself or for another which is the same deep down) You might feel fearful to fly (practically or metaphorically) Because maybe you think are first a creature of the land and you know that you might soar, but then you will come back down And that seems bittersweet to think about if you are excited to fly Likewise, it is fearful to die Because as a living creature you know love, and love is a crown

Walter has been watching me write off and on and he wants me to share this with you all: sun smooch "Magic is everywhere and there are things and people you can't see and things and people you can see. Sometimes things are hard and different, but just find the light and follow your heart and dreams. They will lead you to the light. Sometimes you think it's about the money, but it's not. I hope you find this helpful. If you feel stressed, just remember that magic is everywhere
