Fear is such an interesting emotion. Not that another emotion is any less interesting but for purposes of this writing - fear is my muse. Fear is a basic requirement for survival - if our brains were not wired for fear we would never have survived the wild old days when this emotion got adrenaline coursing through our bodies and helped us run from predators, enemies and other such perilous happenings. That physical function of fear continues to help us in that last minute swerve in the crazy traffic or jumping out of the way for a bike that came out of nowhere on the wrong side of the road and other modern day city girl perils. Quite a life saver this fearfully fear-some fear.
