I am Keith. Everything around me is the world. It's not just below my feet. I'm talking the whole of existence here. That's the world. It's a lot bigger than me. It's a lot bigger than you and everybody else.
That's why it's around me and not the other way around. So...I'll show you the world around me, how I see it.
★
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
- Litany Against Fear (from Dune by Frank Herbert, 1965)

“There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.”
