Courage
Courage
...requires restraint.
It takes much courage
not too shoot back
when it seems life
is aiming at you.
Keep in mind
the privilege you hold
in debating retaliation
for the harsh realities
of your precious life.
Many suffer the impotence
more than life's sacred wounding,
and the tears they restrain
drown them from within.
Water is the story of how we are helped...
...The qualities of water are showing us
how we move inside grace.
~ Rumi
