This quote came up in NonBPnook. I am not sure how I feel about it:

Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs,
hides, hoards, harms.
Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays,
reveals, shares, heals.
Fear wraps our bodies in clothing, love allows us to stand naked.
Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that
which we have away.
Fear holds close, love holds dear.
Fear grasps, love lets go.
Fear rankles, love soothes.
Fear attacks, love amends.
Every human thought, word, or deed is based in one emotion or the
other. You have no choice about this, because there is nothing else
from which to choose. But you have free choice about which of these
to select.
-- Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God, page 19.
