Intrepid Trepidation

These two words were bothering me last night.

Trepidation:
Bold
Fearless
Brave
Courageous
Daring
Heroic
Audacious

Intrepid:
Fear
Anxiety
Unease
Nervousness
Apprehension
Consternation
Concern

Conquering uncharted frontiers
Actually for me it’s frontiers I have not charted, ever
And I wouldn’t say it’s conquering
Discovering is more like it
I lay awake for some time

I’m not good with receiving
I get intensely overwhelmed
I have to do something back
I feel indebted
I’m better with giving

I never give to get something back
I give to show I care
I give to help out
I give because that I can do, without much effort, mostly
I’m no philanthropist, though

Now I’m at a point where all I can give back is love
You may say that’s enough
But that I can give effortlessly as well
In most cases, save this one - strangely
Yes, I still can give it, and then those words come in

I’ve been bestowed with so much
“To whom much is given”
I fall in that category, actually, we all do
Somehow this receipt is an overflow
My cup overflows.

I receive.
