Keys quietly placed in my hands... a soft strange image for fear, not kinder exactly, just suddenly something you can hold...

Agreed, that’s a strange image for fear. In general, we’re being told to cast fear away

Great poem Odel. And very true. A lot of us let fear guide our lives for too long. Mine was driving. I was absolutely terrified of driving. I couldn't do it. For years. In Europe it's not too bad, but I suppose for a car-culture like America, unheard of. I'd like to say it all had a happy ending, but nope. I still don't drive. I like to think about my carbon footprint. And cycling is healthier anyway.

I understand. It’s not only fear, sometimes it’s just us that don’t feel like doing something. We just don’t feel at ease doing so. We own it, no need to force anything
