Words have power. Case in point - litany against fear. It’s a made up poetry for a science fiction written ages ago. Yet it works. I’ll give Frank Herbert every bit of credit he deserves for this. It’s beautiful and effective. #books #Dune

“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.”

“No debo tener miedo.
El miedo mata la mente.
El miedo es la pequeña muerte que conduce a la destrucción total.

Afrontaré mi miedo.
Permitiré que pase sobre mí y a través de mí.

Y cuando haya pasado, giraré mi ojo interior para escrutar su camino.
Allá donde haya pasado el miedo ya no habrá nada.

Sólo estaré yo.”

@farah Had to look it up:
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.
