Lyrics from The Villagers song, Courage

Do you really wanna know,About these lines on my face?Well, each and every one is testament toAll the mistakes I’ve had to makeTo find courageIt’s a feeling like no otherLet me tell you, yeahCourageIn harmony with something other than your egoCourageThe sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for freeFor free… CourageIt’s a feeling like no otherLet me tell you, yeahCourageAnd harmony with something other than your egoCourageThe sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free

May you hear the questions of the universe this week. May you hear the flower’s petals ask if you if you’re in bloom. May you have the courage to respond. May you hear the mountain invite you to come climb. May you find the courage to start the climb. May you seek to find those instruments that were originally poured into you. May you find the courage to pour them back out, to contribute, and to make the world around you a better place.

Pause by the orchid. Listen to the bluebird sing. Be love.
