"I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." Brenda Ueland

Fear is a thing that stings and bites,
That crawls and creeps and flies,
Fear is a wish that comes and goes,
That is born, lives, and dies,
Fear is the sound that screeches and howls,
That comes up from the ground,
Fear is the heart, that thumps the blood,
That begins small and grows loud.
