Went to the Ear Nose Throat doctor today, apparently won’t need Throatectomy as I had feared. Nothing like information to settle or give perspective to my fears.

Despite the fact that very, very few of my fears, during the whole of my life, have come to pass; I forget that and when a new one arises it takes on a life of its own.

That has a lot to do with our personal koans( A Zen term for a seemingly unanswerable question about our life, in our life); they always seem to partake of similar aspects that we need to look at dispassionately and compassionately, when the time comes that we can.

And, I have to remember the old AA acronym;

F.E.A.R.

False. Evidence. Appearing. Real.
