Our visions of courage are what poet Sarah Teasdale…
““Our visions of courage are what poet Sarah Teasdale describes as “holy thoughts that star the night.” Meditation on Freedom Awakening Courage In a relaxed, quiet state, focus on a time when you were courageous. Perhaps you spoke up for yourself or took the road less traveled despite what others said. Or you fought injustice or helped someone in need. Maybe you just got yourself out of bed in the morning when you felt down. All acts of courage matter. Try not to judge one as better than another. For a few minutes, bask in the feeling of courage, letting it infuse you.””
