Courage Aaron and Ryan II

Slide 2: 

Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.  ~Mary Anne Radmacher Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.  ~Winston Churchill "One man with courage makes a majority." — Andrew Jackson, early 19th-century American military hero and U.S. president You can't test courage cautiously.  ~Anne Dillard "Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what courage lets you do." — Bruce Crampton Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.  ~John Wayne You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Poem “Courage” by Anne Sexton

Slide 15: 

It is in the small things we see it.The child's first step, as awesome as an earthquake.

Slide 16: 

The first time you rode a bike, wallowing up the sidewalk.

Slide 17: 

The first spanking when your heartwent on a journey all alone.

Slide 18: 

When they called you crybabyor poor or fatty or crazyand made you into an alien, you drank their acidand concealed it.

Slide 19: 

Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bulletsyou did not do it with a banner, you did it with only a hat tocover your heart.

Slide 20: 

You did not fondle the weakness inside youthough it was there.Your courage was a small coalthat you kept swallowing.

Slide 21: 

If your buddy saved youand died himself in so doing, then his courage was not courage, it was love; love as simple as shaving soap.

Slide 22: 

Later, if you have endured a great despair, then you did it alone,

Slide 23: 

getting a transfusion from the fire, picking the scabs off your heart, then wringing it out like a sock.

Slide 24: 

Next, my kinsman, you powdered your sorrow, you gave it a back ruband then you covered it with a blanket

Slide 25: 

and after it had slept a whileit woke to the wings of the rosesand was transformed

Slide 26: 

Later, when you face old age and its natural conclusionyour courage will still be shown in the little ways,

Slide 27: 

each spring will be a sword you'll sharpen, those you love will live in a fever of love,

Slide 28: 

and you'll bargain with the calendarand at the last momentwhen death opens the back dooryou'll put on your carpet slippersand stride out.
