Fear’s Filter

Workshops /

Fear is a persuasive force, and has the power to obstruct our vision.  When it is present, our ability to see clearly is complicated. It is no different than trying to look through a pair of glasses with someone else’s prescription, or wearing sunglasses with blue lens. Everything appears differently. Our viewpoint is altered. As if looking through a filter, there is a distortion that exists when fear enters the equation. Even when we are unaware, it colors our perceptions.

We are willing to praise freedom

When she is safely tucked away

In the past and cannot be a nuisance in the present,

Amidst dangers

Whose outcome we cannot forsee,

We get nervous about her,

And admit censorship.

– e.e. cummings

In this workshop, we will use the creative process to explore the effect fear has on our perspective, and hopefully use this awareness to help clear our vision.
