FearLess
by Gosia Mielech
Fri, Dec 6th
Rs 200
Fear: A tribal emotion that provokes destruction and can provide survival, a slimy creature that glides under your skin and poisons your blood.
Come and meet a fearless girl going into a boxing ring with her demons, trying to understand the true essence of fear.
Her litany against fear is:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert
