Why Are You Frightened?
Do you believe in ghosts? The disciples may have. Upon seeing the resurrected Jesus, they wrongly assumed he was a ghost.

The Wood Between the Worlds: The Center That Holds
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

He is the beginning,

-St. Paul, Colossians 1:17–18 -
