Conquering fear

I wrote the text below during a recent flight, as a way of coping with my fear of flying. This fear developed from a trip I took many years ago, in which we encountered such turbulance that left me traumatized.

Let go of the fear of dying. You are getting too old for this. Yes, your kids will miss you, but they will be fine. Him? He will remember you, but will move on and seek refuge in his art.
Let go of the fear of feeling pain, you have already experienced it and survived. It will not hurt, especially if it is sudden and short.
Let go of the fear of letting go. If you let go the weight is lifted and you can fly... Literally!
Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to die, after all we all will eventually. That is certain.
