I have been inspired by Koji, but to say that is not to hold him in any way responsible for the following, which I wrote for him on a card under the title above.
For a few, bravery occurs in the moment before the fact:
Imagining possible consequences and deciding – regardless – to act.
For even fewer, I can only imagine, bravery is a daily act of will
Summoning the necessary strength not to give up still.
Though any courage is unusual, what you are required to have is rare
And though it is an individual journey, you won’t be alone there.
Remember that the same sun and moon which watch your fight
Are seen by family and friends supporting you, every day, every night.
Today we talked about his future. He talked about “unknowns”. The relentless positive side peeled a little but not much. I am in awe.
