I’ve declared June the month for LEAPING.
And for honoring the best friend of leaping, BIG BOLD COURAGE.
Watch how life jumps up. Listen to how it pulls you to its lips,
to whisper or shout out the pulsations for your next impulse.
These rhythms may be mighty as a job, house, or mate change.
They may as small as holding a scared child’s hand
or blowing against the bruise of a stranger who has fallen.
These kisses of life pull at our hearts
once, twice, oftentimes several times in a day.
Courage can reveal itself in the quietest of moments,
in the most mundane of circumstances.
And each response moves us higher,
inspires a lightness in our being
as we ascend into the discovery
of what we can do, who we can become,
and who we already are.
How will your courage come through today?
