Where Courage Breathes Softly
Walk slowly,
and let the earth
steady your heart.
Strength is not the roar—
it is the calm
that stays
when fear rises.
Your ancestors
carried their burdens
with quiet grace,
listening to wind,
learning from stillness,
finding power
in gentleness.
Hold compassion
as your true direction.
Protect with care.
Speak with honesty.
The bear beside you
is not a warning,
but a reminder
that courage
can be tender,
and tenderness
can be strong.
In your steady breath,
their wisdom returns—
ancient,
rooted,
ever guiding.
