Fear
A latent fear attends me through all my activities, often stabbing me without warning
My fear is that I am proving unequal to the demands of practical reason,
losing my hold on reason, letting it slip away

I fear that I am breaking faith with my origins, failing those who came before me

My fear is that I am proving to be unworthy of my most valued gift, and of the gift giver
<_>To be worthy of the gift giver is to be worthy of her most valuable gifts
<_>To be worthy of a gift, one must be grateful for it
<_>To be worthy of a gift, one must prove equal to the task of holding on to it
<_>Gift worthiness evolves and reveals itself in time
The gift is practical reason

The offer of practical reason is written in the night sky like a covenant
