The Fear Before The Breakthrough Is Found

Wrestling With Life And Legacy

By Dr. Cody Dakota Wooten, DFM, DHM, DAS (hc)Published 5 months ago 1 min read

I See what I am Doing Now...

But I Fear...

I Fear that "This"...

Is So Much Larger than Myself...

So Incredibly Important...

So Needed...

But...

What if I am Not Enough?

What if I Do Not Have Enough Time?

What if It is More Complex than it Seems?

If I Fail...

If I Run Out of Time...

Will Others Find My Work?

Will They Understand It?

Will I have Left Enough for Them to Finish the Puzzle that I have Been Putting Together?

If My Life Ended Tomorrow...

Would there Be Enough...

Or Would Everything that I have Begun to Understand...

Disappear?

How Much More Pain...

Suffering...

Would So Many have to Endure?

All because I Failed to Leave Enough Breadcrumbs to Find the Path...

I Cannot Afford to Disappear...

Not Yet...

I Need...

A Bit...

More..

Time...
