Courage stands when sitting is anticipated. She has the capacity to shock and agitate. But may also gently surprise with a nudge and a quiver.
Courage is commitment beyond ordinary expectation. A vow that exceeds cultural and social norms. Courage shakes up the manicured landscape. Mingling roses with daisies. St. Augustine with Kentucky Bluegrass. Though fear may persist, courage pledges without regret or remorse.
Courage speaks in the face of silence. But may also model silence among talking heads. In this way, she is intimate partners with discernment and wisdom.
Without warning, courage may creep into the soul of the downtrodden. And generate strength beyond measure. She may take precious time within her vessel to develop. Or surge with mighty power through a moment of inspiration.
Courage confesses shortcomings and flaws. With bold intent, she claims slivers of lack. As well as malice unfettered. But she also asserts goodness. And acknowledges the holy within.
Courage is asking her out on a date. Giving him a kiss goodnight.
Courage is remaining faithful in seasons of lust. She is steadfast during monotony. Courage is asking for a merit raise. And receiving a written warning. Courage is appearing on stage. And leaving the make-up at home. Courage is letting go of control. And trusting in someone beyond the self. Courage is heading towards reconciliation. When avoiding conflict is so much easier. Courage is running with the kite absent the wind. And swimming despite the nagging terror of drowning.
Courage slyly avoids definition. Insisting upon lived experience. She demands embodiment. So as to leave her influence on this world. And carry the pilgrim to the next. Amen.
