Fearlessness is not like a wild tiger or brown bear that is locked up in a cage and growls every time you open the door. Fearlessness is powerful but it also contains gentleness and constant loneliness and sadness. Wisdom and consideration for others are also part of fearlessness. When you are more fearless, you become more available and kinder to others, more considerate of others and more touched by them. The more fearlessness evolves, that much more available and vulnerable you become. That is why sadness and gentleness are part of fearlessness...In this state, your mind doesn't buck like a young horse. Your mind is flowing like a gentle brook. --Chogyam Trungpa Smile at Fear (I think I will frown at fear today, see if that gets people to leave me the fuck alone ...)
