where in the body does courage call home? the same place where lightning lives. cuers is Old French, meaning “heart.” rage is also Old French, meaning “fury.” what does that tell us about what it means to be brave? choosing love is a practice. every day it takes all my strength. still, i believe in this body, this soul, this fallible flesh that still burns with wanting. somewhere, after the lightning strikes, there will be a world for us.
