Companions for Courage

There is a fair amount of courage one derives from the courage of others. Or I should say, there is a fair amount of courage I derive when accompanied by the courageous.
I am not talking about the confident. That is a different skill, albeit also an important one. I am talking about a fellowship of mustering. Walking alongside those who have to summon something extra from a deep, inarticulate recess within themselves to accomplish their task. Whether it be to take on a daunting mission or to confront a mean-spirited coworker, the risks (even the irrational ones) are tangible and dangerous.
Hence the mustering. The drawing on deeper, stronger, richer, sounder resources to choose as we know in our heart of hearts we must.
I, for one, am more likely to rise to the courage-mustering task in the company of those who are determined to do so as well. Courage engenders courage. Fear engenders fear.
