i must not fear

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, Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, "Dune"

i can keep rereading his works again and again and never tire of them.
maybe it's time to get the whole collected boxset. and no, the kevin j anderson continuation of the series is totally not canon. man that sounded really, really sci-fic geeky. grr i wish i ain't so broke now.

i must not fear. let the gom jabbar come.

a terrible beauty is born

it's nice and quiet these past few days.
an uneasy peace reigns with this gut feeling that something is gonna go really bad.
like real soon.

i'll just enjoy whatever snatches of peace i can get for now.
in whatever form it manifests itself.
and ready myself for whatever comes.
