Quote
As a kid I used to sit on this muscular branch in the old apple tree. And the branch was high enough to make you feel like you were above the earth, but low enough to make you feel that the fall wouldn’t kill you. And it wasn’t until I was adult that I realized that the fear of heights is in reality the fear of the fall. And because that’s the case, we rarely get into the treetops.

Quote
My faith is not some escapist fantasy born of my inability to face reality. Rather, it is the belief in a reality that supersedes the one that I am being accused of escaping from. And because that’s the case, that reality demands more of me than would have been demanded had I stay put. So, if I am in fact escaping, it’s escaping to something better which is entirely different than fleeing from something that I fear.

Quote
Our fear frequently takes the reality of a situation and mythologizes it. And in the end, the ‘myth’ becomes the monster while the ‘fact’ remains the short guy behind the curtain.
