But back to the original question, the one I was to ponder over the weekend…

It’s still hard for me to believe, but I was visiting my parents this weekend, and we went out for lunch at this small place out in the middle of the countryside. On the way home, we took a different route past the place where my late uncle used to live (and we would visit when I was a child). It has been nearly 15 years since I have been past there. And after we went past, we came to a woods. And that triggered it. These were the woods that my sister and I always believed was where Bigfoot lived. And, in fact, as I was telling my kids about this as we drove past on Saturday, the thoughts came back again. Not as strong, but still, they were there. Was there something in those woods? I’ve never thought that about any other forest I’ve went by or been in.

A few minutes after we passed through this area, I thought – aha! This is exactly what Stacey is talking about. And what does it mean to me? Maybe it’s a fear of not knowing. Of not knowing what’s out there that we can’t see. Is that a literal fear that holds me back today? It might be. I think many might fear what they don’t know, myself included. Like the Bigfoot I never saw, but still feared as a child – what the the Bigfoot’s in my life today that keep me from stepping into the forest of life? I have to ponder some more…

I think identifying our fears is vital. So many times, we fear nothing specific, just the idea that something could go wrong. This doesn’t give us any concrete action to take to get over it.

However, that doesn’t make me more comfortable killing spiders. Think they’ll thumbwrestle?
