DiaryOfAWorm: Fall Fun Fear


Fall Fun Fear is the best. Fall brings Halloween. The scary of Halloween, the ghost, creatures and witches, are full of fun. The jolly scarecrows in my rain garden and sitting on the rail of the neighbor’s porch do not do much scaring but add to fall colors and fun.

All this fall fear fun comes at a good time. Fear seems to reign in our society. We fear terrorism, immigrants, what people will think of us, walking the streets at night, people who are different than us, accidents and. of course, the enemies. When people are afraid, the government can more easily control persons.

Now I understand why Jesus, in his universal messages, says over and over again “Be Not Afraid.” Fear is powerful but as FDR said “All we have to fear is fear itself.”

I find one of the advantages of feeling death each day is that when one feels like dying many things to fear disappears.

Fall precedes winter, dying precedes death and death precedes spring and new life. So let us enjoy fall fun fear.
