Taming of the Alligator

By Greg Baer M.D.

January 14, 2021

Recently I was carrying my three-year-old grandson, Jack, through a nature preserve in Florida, where we watched a number of alligators sunning themselves at the edge of the water. At one point a large gator moved in the nearby brush, and Jack clung to me in fear.

Gently I turned his face toward mine, and when he was looking into my eyes, I said, "Who loves you?"

Jack smiled broadly, touched my chest with his tiny finger, and said, "You do." His fear disappeared, and he turned to watch the alligator.

Fear is the most disabling condition on earthā€”for us individually and in our relationshipsā€”and the solution is not to protect ourselves. It's unconditional love that banishes fearā€”for all of us, not just a three-year-old boy.
