Something that may help in this time of increasing shock and fear

[Wicked Blue]

It's from Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel Dune.

Litany against fear

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

1. Ah yes, the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.

For me, one of the best mantras ever. I've used it so many times over the years.

2. I sory of hoped, from the title (Something that may help . . . .)

that it would be videos of adorable cats.

We are living in interesting times. Sigh.
