A Craven’s Courage

The power of a direct decision is that it carves up cowardice.

Don’t worry about being brave, being bold is a short-term scare

Far more frightening to hold back

 

Suffering in silence

Letting so many thoughts flow while real possibilities dwindle

Be a coward, be scared enough to take the jump

 

You will fall sometimes

But hitting the ground is better than hanging off the edge

And who knows? More often than not going for it gives you gifts

 

Even if the reward is earth or a firm answer

Cold and true memories are better to sleep with at night

Compared to sleeping with the needle stings of indecision.

 

Be brave, and all the best.

J.W.H. Hobbs.
