what it is

Courage, also known as bravery, will and fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. 'Physical courage' is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship or threat of death, while 'moral courage' is the courage to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal or discouragement. - Wikipedia

And that shift, spiraling from spirit to matter, is what I will attempt to explore in this blog.
