Courage in all four corners - part 4


It's neat. I started hiking and climbing and I became more brave and wild. I slowed down and focused on the process of life and I grew to enjoy the way we live. I'm calmer on the inside. More than changing how we live, all of this revealed why we live. That's the thing that matters, isn't it?

My soul is the ring-leader that stirs up boldness in my heart, mind, and strength. It is the root to a tree growing tall and standing through storms and seasons. It is the part no one sees, and authenticity lives there. Courage fills your soul when you embrace the identity only Christ can give you – the breath of life that makes man alive.

The Lion was singing still. But now the song had once more changed. It was more like what we should call a tune, but it was far wilder. It made you want to run and jump and climb. It made you want to shout. It made you want to rush at other people and either hug them or fight them. ... Aslan threw up his shaggy head, opened his mouth, and uttered a long, single note; not very loud, but full of power. Polly's heart jumped in her body when she heard it. She felt sure that it was a call, and that anyone who heard the call would want to obey it and (what's more) would be able to obey it, however many worlds and ages lay between.  (The magician's nephew)
