Courage

Courage.

So few people talk about how quiet it is.

The word sounds so loud. Like the roar of a lion or the thunderous clapping of a waterfall.

But courage, I’ve found, is quiet. And it starts out small. Like a single stilled moment in a whirlwind of thoughts. Or single statement uttered into the silence.

At first it’s just the tiniest seed. And the hardest part is trusting that it will even survive. Such a small thing in such a crazy world.

But something extraordinary happens when you make that tiny, quiet choice.

It grows…
