The task and the fear

“Where your fear is, there is the task.” Carl Jung

No car means we walk and cycle everywhere. My fear last night was in walking an 8-mile round trip, late at night with my youngest.

It’s too cold. It’s too far. I’m putting too much on my kids.

Our challenge is to raise active, healthy, and curious kids.

My youngest skipped, talked, and chased her shadow. And every fourth lamppost, I gave her piggyback. I felt strong, present, enjoying the moment. It was incredible.

Separating out the task and the fear is time well spent.
