Dragons

Man, why is it that the most insidious fears that I hate to admit I have are so tied up with my most secret, precious hopes? No, don't ask me what they are here; this is deep stuff. But definitely a pattern.

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke says it best: "Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasures."
