Pig Latin

Today in the book I am finishing there is a chapter entitled 'Securus Te Projice" this is translated in the book, "Thrust yourself forward with confidence," and on further research it is a quote that St. Augustine used in his Confessions.

If I were the latin tattoo type this I may consider. It is just pure encouragement to me.

I thought briefly tonight as I stepped in to my elevator about the idea of 'take courage.' I wonder how many intangible things like courage, care, heed we can take by manner of our own will. Just as we would take food or drink we can choose to take courage as if there is a resource outside of ourself; a constant bounty of empowerment. I also suppose that there is an alternate source of disablement as well. Either way we take and through action we manifest the courage or the fear etc. We manifest the source.
