My Soul Delighteth in the Song of the Righteous
My grandma planted the seeds in my soul,of staring down fear. She lived in San Francisco and in the 60's and 70's, that was not a very safe place to live ( still isn't). She was a widow and traveled by herself everywhere. One day when I was a little girl, we were walking down a very crowded street filled with hippies and beatniks ( yes they really existed, but they weren't always so filled with "love"and "peace" as they professed to be) she could tell I was frightened. I had heard so many stories from my parents who only wanted to protect me, that I couldn't even look up. I clung onto her for dear life. She stopped me right there on the side walk and taught me that I had nothing to fear. Then she showed me how to stand up straight, put a pleasant look on my face and look people right in the eye and to walk like you knew exactly where you were going. It's taken a lifetime of practice, and so many little fears to over come, but I have always been grateful to my grandma for taking the time to teach me, but more importantly show me, that the opposite of fear is faith...and confidence.--Sandy Cane
