I have a thing I say to myself, it’s called PUSH PAST THE PAIN. And that’s what I did, just pushed past the pain. ~ Antoinette Tuff

The pain, the fear, the terror
stands adamant, immobile,
a boulder in the stomach.
Sometimes fears are tamed,
pain assuaged…but new ones loom.
But the pain, the fear, the terror
hold no sway, if we’re careful to see…
if we yield to the Power who knows…
if we only do the next right thing
we go through the pain – or where it was —
relieved to see it a mirage, a lie.
It was a step through one more discovery
on the road to freedom from obsession,
to release from insanity,
