A fresh start is full of unknowns.  Why is this so frightening?  For you do not like surprises, or to take what you consider wrong steps, or to make mistakes.  Then you are not yet used to being human.  How long does it take until you realize that each step is a step into the unknown, blank slate or not.  And so, what do you do to find peace?  Cease needing to know what the future holds.  Be at home with uncertainty.  Make it your friend, and then reach out your hand and allow yourself to be guided.  You never walk alone. A blank canvas can be your friend or your foe. But only if you make it so.

You are so very loved.
