The brave heart

No, the brave heart did not have it all figured out. It was never at once ready to face the great unknown. Nor was it prepared enough to risk the vortex of uncertainty. The brave heart quivered when it was told to befriend fear; it trembled facing its own vulnerability. For it was never shown how to swallow the bitter-sweet pains of love or bear the grief of loss. None of that, the brave heart knew how to do. But it chose to stay open and soft, anyways. And that's precisely how it grew to be brave through it all.
