Prompt for FCNL Witness Wednesday.
"Courage is the measure of our heartfelt participation with life, with another, with a community, a work; a future. To be courageous is not necessarily to go anywhere or do anything except to make conscious those things we already feel deeply and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities of those consequences"
. ~ David Whyte, Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment, and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words
A quote offered in chat during the same worship.
Courage as action despite fear is a common view. Courage as participation despite unending vulnerabilities feels far more personal. And opens many more paths.
RantWoman's #DisabilityPrideMonth point: plenty of OUCHES. Will they take shape in black and white?
