"no fear."

[After the Master calms the storm on the sea of Galilee, we make our way to the eastern shore of the country of the Gadarenes, where the tombs are]

I am an eight-year old child. The Son has already disembarked from the boat.  He looks up at me with a half-smile on His face and reaches up to help me down onto the coarse sand.  The air is gloomy and dark: I'm afraid.
"Do not be afraid of the tombs... You are afraid of the dead and dying" He says, perceiving my thoughts and fears.
Slightly confused I respond, "I don't understand, Lord.  What are you saying to me?"
He takes my hand and leads me to an open sepulchre. "Go inside the tomb." 

"But Master, I'm afraid." I say incredulously, wondering why He would suggest such a thing even after knowing my fears upon arrival.

"no fear." He responds calmly and sternly. I gather courage at His Words and begin to walk into the opening of the tomb.  Two glowing eyes greet me a few steps back from the entrance and the sudden realization of me going in alone hits me. Now fearful, I ask Him to come with me.  He does.  His presence brings Light into the opening and reveals a small, black cat. It purrrs and rubs my legs as both of us continue into the tomb.  At the end of the cave-like tomb I see an altar with a golden bowl on it, like a golden pomegranate cut in half, sitting on a supper table.
"Drink" I think I hear Him say, just before my eyes open.
