The Dance of Courage

Thank you for the courage to be me.

Thank you for the courage to be me.

Thank you for the courage to be me.

Myself.

I don’t have to try to be myself.

I already am myself.

Why does it take courage to be who we already are?

It takes courage to silence ourselves when we know we need to speak.

It takes courage to hold our tongue when we know we have something to say.

It takes courage to understand the depth of our power.

It takes courage to understand and accept each other.

It takes courage to follow our instincts.

It takes courage to look another in the eyes.

It takes courage to be who we really came here to be.

It takes courage to believe in someone, to believe in ourselves.

It takes courage to believe in our future.

It takes courage to hope,

to allow ourselves to dream,

to believe that something better is on the horizon.

It takes courage to let something go, someone, go.

It takes courage to move on.

It takes courage to do the right thing.

It takes courage to follow our hearts.

It takes courage to shine our light.

It takes courage to be brave.

It takes courage to express ourselves, our true selves.

It takes courage to feel someone else’s energy.

It takes courage to have boundaries,

to say no,

to say yes.

It takes courage to pave your own way in this world.

It takes courage to go first.

It takes courage to sing your song.

It takes courage to dance your dance.

It takes courage to be different.

It takes courage to stand out.

It takes courage ...to stand alone.

It takes courage to step out.

It takes courage to move outside the lines.

It takes courage to dream bigger.

It takes courage to break the chains.

It takes courage to change our DNA.

It takes courage to speak our truth.

It takes courage to know in our hearts how we truly feel.

It takes courage to trust our feeling,

even when nobody else believes,

nobody else supports,

nobody is standing with you,

...has your back.

It takes courage to be alone in this world.

It takes courage to know that we are held.

It takes courage to know that there’s

something bigger outside of us,

and within us.

It takes courage to not know what the future holds.

It takes courage to be okay with what is.

It takes courage to not understand, to just accept.

It takes courage to question the answers.

It takes courage to seek and to find.

It takes courage to have and to hold.

It takes courage to love unconditionally.

It takes courage to lose conditionally.

It takes courage to remember,

And it takes courage to forget,

to understand,

and to accept.

It takes courage to grow,

to change,

to alter the course of history.

It takes courage to ROAR!

It takes courage to howl... at the moon.

It takes courage to be yourself when no one is watching,

and when everyone is watching.

It takes courage to be alone,

and to be everywhere at the same time.

It takes courage to FLY...

...to fly your own flag.

...to put your stake in the ground.

...to sail your course.

...to embark on a new voyage.

So IS our Lifedance.

Thank you….

Thank you for courage.

Thank you for allowing courage to permeate every cell of my being.

Thank you courage for being with me always.
