Facing The Fear And Anxiety Of The Unknown by Stan Popovich
Almost everybody worries about what will happen in the future. The prospect of not knowing if something good or bad will happen can produce a lot of fear and anxiety.
As a result, here are seven ways on how to deal with the fear of the unknown.
1. No one can predict the future with one hundred percent certainty: Even if the thing that you fear does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage.
For instance, you miss the deadline for a project you have been working on. Everything you feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss tells you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before. This unknown factor changes everything.
2. Take it one day at a time: Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week or coming months, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. When the time comes, hopefully you will have learned the skills to deal with your situation. You can also use the help of God to get through each day.

Distance #poem by Jan Sand
“Things close are quite fierce.
The honed edge of a sharp blade threatens.
Texture and temperature require touch.
An interchange of tongues gifts great power.
The contour of a hip, smooth warm flesh
Can reach through decades of forgetfulness.
The ghost of scent can penetrate like nothing else.”

Bronislaw Malinowski: Understanding Cultures and Cultural Change by Rene Wadlow
Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942) whose birth anniversary we note on 7 April was a leading professor of anthroplogy at the London School of Economics during the 1920s and 1930s. He was to do six months of field work in the Trobriand Islands of what is now New Guinea in 1914. He was there when the First World War broke out, and he feared that if he returned to England, he might be arrested as an “enemy alien”. Malinowski was born in Cracow in today’s Poland but at the time was part of the Austrian empire. He had studied and received a doctorat at Jagrellonian University where his father was a professor , and then gone to teach in England. Thus rather than six months in the Trobriand Islands, he stayed from 1914 to 1919 when he returned to England. There he wrote “Argonauts of the Western Pacific”, published in 1922, which created a new style of participant observation in anthroploogy.
Malinowski wanted to build a new model of social anthropology to meet some of the basic problems facing humanity. His emphasis was on how society is structured to meet the basic needs of the individual. Malinowski helped to make the London School of Economics a leading English institution for anthroplogy. He had as students people who became well known in the field.
