or uncertainty?
Do you know the experience of being in the midst of a great storm when what you feel combines awe and fear and an acute awareness of the profound majesty of life?

This new language pushed the boundaries of our English construct of fear to something that lives in each of us as a driving force. How we interpret that fear and what we do with it can change the course of our lives.
