Fear has many faces, and wears many hats. We have those who act superior and who repeat their stories of being the hero. They drop names of important "friends" all titled and professional. They have no ordinary aquaintances. Could it be that some of us cannot see the ordinary beauty within ourselves?

Then we have the ones who are too proud to associate with the success of others, so what do we do? We withdraw ourselves in order to minimize contact, and remain aloof and in denial of acknowledging the achievement of another person, only because we cannot see that there are more than enough resources to go around; and that any success belongs to all.

No man or woman is an island, and indeed there are no isolated incidents which take place on our planet. Every good or evil deed belongs to all of us, just as the garden of food bearing trees also contains weeds and tares. We have the individual choice to reap what we have sown in our own homegrown garden. Are you sowing good seeds, and wearing the face of a cherry, happy, enthusiastic disposition, or are you masked with the face of fear, or are you too confused to know the difference? My friend, are you courageous enough to look deep within the mirror of your soul to see what is reflected there? Wherever you are now, there are still many areas of love and light within you just waiting to be liberated from the years of neglect. Yes, and there are Spiritual day Laborers waiting to be hired, and to help in cleaning up the mess so that you can get the message of Love.
