COT: courage is “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” it’s not just racing into a proverbial hail of bullets but can show up in quiet moments. My middle son, almost 10, is a little guy and asked at dinner “is everyone better than me bc they’re bigger than me?” that made me sad but also proud of him for saying the thing, even though it was hard and took courage. I hope we can all say the thing that’s coming up for us, even if it’s to ask for help.
And I trust that i’ll find the right words for my son, too. thanks to all the PAX for the words of encouragement.
