I wrote the following poem shortly before beginning an article that has an upcoming deadline. It came as a result of asking myself the question: "Why do I always get so freaked out and get myself all worked up before I start writing--something that I truly love to do? This flowed out very freely within minutes, and I'm choosing to keep it unedited because it really explains the truth of that moment. Blessings. :)Melissa

White page staring back at me,
if you could speak, you would
ask me how I could think I am
smart enough to post my art
upon your skin.
How could I possibly know
what to write as I drown
within the depths of your
opaque disapproval? You
reflect back to me all
the fear that harbors at the shore
of my imagination—my
inadequacy stuck to you
like glue. I am not to be
included on this page.
So I write about nothing
related to the assignment
at hand, but rather a topic for
your approval. The Truth.
that I am terrified to be
exposed.

Wow that's awesome! Very Deep!
First we walk face to face with our fear, look it in the eye, and then acknowledge that fear as being part of who we are in that moment. Then we take that fear back into our body, we hug it, we embrace it, and let it pass through.
That shows great strenght when one says hello to their fear, shakes their hand, and invites them to dine with them in their home.
I'm sure that you will not have a problem writing your article now, that is if you haven't already started. :)
Blessings
