About this time every day a gecko comes out from hiding and makes his way across my fence. He stops every so often to see if he can snag an unsuspecting insect. I’m cheering for him because the mosquitos in south Texas are not polite. They’ll bite you anytime they find you. The gecko doesn’t fear a cat or hawk taking hs life. He intuitively knows he has to work if he is to eat, I’m not going to stay inside until a frost comes because I don’t want to be bitten by a mosquito. That’s the way it is with life. We have to step into life and embrace it. We can’t let fear hold us back. Better to step into life and not hold back than always wanting to try but never daring to.
