In Catholic tradition a rosary is used to keep track of the number of specific prayers one has said. But a rosary or other prayer beads also connects prayer to the body as beads slip through the fingers.
What physical objects are part of your prayer life?
Sometimes you have to summon up all your courage to confront your demons. But then, sometimes the things that seemed so scary turn out to be all bluster and no bite, and the best thing to do is just walk on by.
Where does your courage take you?
Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn. And if you can be most yourself by being a unicorn, then definitely do that.
When do you feel like your most authentic self?
If you focus on the window itself, you lose sight of the trees beyond it. And if you focus on the trees you will probably miss the view of the sky.

Sometimes the simple feeling of someone’s hand in ours, or a friendly hug or pat on the back, is enough to give us the strength to go out in the world.
When has human touch given your strength or courage?
