Courage Is Leaning In

Miriam Racquel Courage Kislev - 23rd day

Courage is … leaning in. As Mark Nepo says ‘leaning into our experience, though we don’t like the hit, moves us on.’ He compares this to salmon who expose their underside to the current and this is what launches them further up the waterfall. I’m not a salmon and I don’t like leaning into difficult experiences – I’d much rather shut down or turn away, but I know from mind- body work, the only way to move forward is by leaning in; ‘…it is the impact of being revealed, through our willingness to be vulnerable, that enables us to experience both mystery and grace.’ And that takes Courage.

23rd day of the Jewish month of Kislev – the month of Courage
