Maya Angelou put it ever so succinctly: 'Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you cannot practice any other virtues consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. Incidentally  I've been reading the wonderful wizard of Oz with my youngest son, and the Lion who is seeking courage is told by the great  Oz  that courage is always inside one, so he must drink up some concoction and be filled with courage.  Of course we never truly know how much courage we have until we are faced with adversity. May we all find our inner courage in these changing and sometimes trying times.

Peace and Blessings.
