Do you give the horse his strength? Do you clothe his neck in a flowing mane?
Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?
He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing and charges into the fray.
He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side
Along with the flashing spear and shield.
In frenzied excitement, he eats up the ground.
He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue

“It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly. Who errs. Who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds. Who kn...
In the clearing stands a boxer
and a fighter by his trade
and he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down
or cut him ’til he cried out
in his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving! I am leaving!”
…But the fighter still remains.
– “The Boxer”, Simon and Garfunkle
Everyone wants to quit. Everyone wants to flee. Fight or flight reflex makes quitting the first and best alternative. ...
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell
– Alfred Lord Tennyson
“The Charge of the Light Brigade”
Sometimes circumstances issue us orders to attack a fortified artillery battery. You can’t evade it or retreat. So charge… choose to. When you need a hero and one isn’t around, stop looking around.

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

“All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe.”
– Thomas Paine
Miracles aren’t what you think they are. They aren’t water to wine or parting seas. Don’t pray for a miracle. Pray for courage. If a miracle comes… you’ll need it.

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
– Plato
Fear is a liar. It seeps into the cracks between thoughts and bends them just enough to make reality worth fleeing. When a horse freezes or spooks at a plastic bag fluttering in the wind, it seems justifiable to chastise him for such a dumb response to something so innocuous. But… imagine what...
“The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow.” – Leonardo da Vinci

“The greatest way to live with honor in this life is to be what we pretend to be.” – Seneca
Pain grows and festers the longer one carries it. First we must be honest with ourselves that the pain exists. We must be honest with ourselves that we were vulnerable enough and human enough to be hurt. Then we must finally be honest with ourselves that we possess the strength to defeat it.

Courage doesn’t look the way you think. And neither does the forgiveness that requires it. At a time when bravery is flooding the market, courage is in critical supply. Still yourself for a moment, and watch closely.
No. Closer.
