making friends with your own terror

The lonely child who travels through
the fearful waste and desolate fields,
and listens to their barren tune,
greets as an unknown and best friend
the terror in him, and he sings
in darkness all the sweetest songs.

–Chogyam Trungpa, excerpt, “The Silent Song of Loneliness”

from Susan Piver's site. One to love.
