April Love -- Day Fourteen ...



Dear Courage,
You never fail me. You may be dormant. Suspended. In a deep sleep. Inactive. Resting for when I call on you. To give me strength. You reawaken and push me to keep looking forward. You never allow me to stay down. You let me process, but then it is forward facing and no looking back. You restore the faith I need to have in myself. You bring me back to life. Renewing the layer of self confidence that had been lost. Reminding me I deserve better. Coaching me to trust in what I know. Reconditioning me. Repairing what has been broken. Cheering me on when I lose momentum. Smiling on me when I have done my best. You walk beside me as a companion. Placing a hand on my shoulder when I need one. Wiping the tears when they come. Encouraging me to look at the larger picture. Please remain with me in the upcoming years, I have confidence you will be there.

I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
