Ask anyone. They would attest to the same. It's the beginning that shakes the heart of any warrior, not the bloodshed, not the wounds, not the battle within itself. It is the search for courage to throw the first spear, wield the sword anew, shoot the first arrow that is more scary than anything and everything that ensues...but when they do find that courage and sink their teeth into it, everything blurs in comparison, they loose themselves to the ecstasy of conquering their fears...we all are warriors. each one of us. we wake up when all we want to do is die and we do it every single day. again and again and again. we find courage, we hang on to a flicker of hope, we play hide and seek with sorrow. we are gladiators..I am a fighter and so are you.
My novice entry into the realm of writing and I salute all of you out there who found their courage...I did mine today, I hope I am a Keeper..
