the unfirm line – Ben Tanzer

“It is also clear to me that age brings fear, and there is no doubt that everything scares me more than it used to.”

Ben Tanzer, 99 Problems


Never been a scaredy cat, never been worried about what went bump next to me in the dark. However, Tanzer reaches a point of truth, albeit parental truth.

I have never known fear like I have as a parent. I am sure this is no grand epiphany. However it is pure.
