in loving, as lewis says, you become vulnerable. so as my friend prayed for me i also pray: may i have the courage to continue...
courage
i thought i showed you love
in a million little ways
but the message intercepted
and now i find i’m lost
adrift in a sea of misunderstanding
and you are staring from land
with accusing eyes
no life preserver in sight
and i think the waves are cold
but welcoming as well
maybe i’ll just sink
can i find hope for new
the courage to try again
is this pain worth the return
that is never guaranteed
my arms are tired
help me float
Courage is fear that has said its fears. ~Dorothy Bernard
To grow up is to find
the small part you are playing
in this extraordinary drama
written by somebody else. ~Madeleine L'Engle
