fear

It is there.  You feel it.  It is real.  The challenge is how to face life once aware that you are feeling fear.

first time

I can’t hardly (and don’t want to) wipe the smile off my face.  The thrill of driving on the same freeway, the same streets – without an ounce of gasoline!  My first drive on vegetable oil was beyond words.  There I was, on the freeway – all the cars next to me – just like yesterday – but TOTALLY different.  And no one knew but me.  Kind of that “I-have-a-secret” feeling you have right after you lose your virginity.  Everyone you see perceives you as exactly the same as the day before but you know things are profoundly different and will never be the same again.  Kind of like that.  It is incredible.  That is all I can say about it.  Except that you should try too!
