When I felt scared, I remembered this video, and thought "HaShem Echad" (G-d is one), and faced the challenge. I will try to continue to do so.

Thank you

such a beautiful analogy with shadows.
thank you!

I remember being afraid of the dark when I was younger. Afraid of what i couldn't see. Now as I approach forty, i realize that there are many things i cannot see, and fear is sometimes created in the mind. False Evidence Appearing Real as it is sometimes said.

I have also realized that there is a greater purpose for my life, one that I don't fully understand yet, so at times things may seem "dark", but i reshape it into more of a "blurry scattered light" - blended colours with endless possibility.

thanks again!
