I have found that courage is a perseverance that trusts deeply in the power of love that pervades all existence no matter what things look like on the surface. This courage is knowing that transformation is being guided even when we do not see it in outward circumstances. Patience and trust rest here.
Your meditation on courage as persistence in the face of the seemingly unresolvable reminds me of the Palestinian word samud and the Palestinians I know who continue to care and persist for justice in the face of their seemingly unresolvable situation. Their witness encourages me in our current struggle.

“courage is not a solo virtue but a shared metabolism”… so beautifully, compassionately articulated… thank you
Still staying, lasting,
held by each other’s courage.
Committed daring.

Uncertain outcomes,
goodness arcs bend through our acts.
Committed caring.
...
Remaining “faithful
To the Earth, to each other.”
“Keep... fire going.”
