"The root of the word courage is cor – the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage had a very different definition than it does today. Courage originally meant 'To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart.' Over time, this definition has changed, and today, courage is more synonymous with being heroic... Heroics is often about putting our life on the line. Ordinary courage is about putting our vulnerability on the line. In today's world that's pretty extraordinary." --- Brené Brown
Courage to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart. Courage to be authentic. Courage to be.
But where does courage come from anyway? This morning, we'll not answer this question for you but rather ask you to answer it for yourself and for one another, at table: where does your courage come from?
You are invited to bring something with you today - an object, a symbol, a picture -- that connects you deeply to your own courage.
Let's kick off a new month-long 'big idea' together -- COURAGE -- by acknowledging & lifting up sources of courage & culture that are already with us.
