Wonderful piece, Rosana. One of my focuses as an adult has been to face my fears. One of my favorite movies, "Defending Your Life," is about how well we do, or don't, face our fears. And I think our current moment is largely about the impulse to let our fears overwhelm us.
Thank you!! And it looks like I have another movie to check out; I never saw that one. This truly is an overwhelming moment, so it takes a lot of work to keep our fears from overwhelming us! But not doing the work is much worse.
This article is timely for me, and it made me "wake up" to many issues I realize I need to face and think about at this time. Facing them through these words was necessary, and I applaud the timeliness of the essay, Excellent...and thank you!
Great column! Balancing fear with hope is a life's work, I think.
Thank you! And it certainly is.

The movie is so good! Please let me know if you watch it. I would love to talk about it with you.
