Courage

Fear can paralyze or ignite flight or flee
Otherwise it sits, attacks the soul with harsh intensity
Live not in fear, but bravery
Stand strong as best you can with courage to look at the truth
Courage to choose what is right
Courage is what we must have now
To not look like wilting flowers, 
After a lashing storm in the night

Your words uplift spirits, Heidi. I feel the intensity--without courage not much can be accomplished as life always puts hurdles in our way.
