PROMPT: Fear

Daily writing prompt
What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it?

Swimming in the deeps.

Swimming day in and day out until my buoyancy became an incontrovertible fact of nature that not even my amygdala could deny.

Green Hills [Free Verse]

fingers of forest
 interspersed with 
  fingers of pasture --

the hidden & 
 the exposed --
 
two kinds of danger:
 being seeable &
  being unable to see.

is the mind fearful
 of being exposed
  the same as the mind fearful
   of being confined?
