Understanding equals less fear...

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."- Marie Curie
This one concept was a turning point for me...
It's helped me look at life 
With an improved sense of equanimity
Improved to what level?
The coward in me wish not to be tested and graded
But it is enough 
That I try to pass the everyday tests for now..

Whatever nightmarish, uncertain, turbulence you're treading on
May angels whisper quiet knowing and understanding 
That'll calm your troubled heart...
