HALF A SHADE BRAVER: The Foundational Elements of a Courageous Everyday Life
We think of courage as translated into public acts of bravery-confronting opposing forces or challenging circumstances. But the linguistic origin of the word is couer, meaning heart.
Courage is the measure of our heartfelt participation with life, others, community, and work. To be courageous is to seat our feelings deeply in the body and in the world, to live up to and into the unending vulnerabilities of the relationships and things we care deeply about. To be courageous is to stay close to the way we are made.
This talk will look at the foundational elements of a courageous life. Through the revelations of poetry and the poetic tradition, David will explore the bold, courageous, vulnerable, and occasionally painful steps we can take to bring our real identity out into the world; to be and do, to achieve, and, above all, to give.
Doors open at 9:15am.
