Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding.
On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial... whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.
Fear is the only true enemy, born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate.
The simple act of caring is heroic.
Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.
In times of life crisis, whether wild fires or smoldering stress, the first thing I do is go back to basics... am I eating right, am I getting enough sleep, am I getting some physical and mental exercise everyday.
