Listen "COURAGE"
Episode Synopsis
Courage has been on my mind as during the last week or so, this country has seen integrity and moral courage on the part of those state officials responsible for certifying the election results, under political pressure; and with the surging wave of Covid infections across much of the country, health professionals have served selflessly and with courage. Over 20,000 have died from Covid, worldwide.COURAGE is derived from the french "coeur" or heart. These poems look at overcoming fear, where fear comes from; Moments of personal courage, decisions that each of us might make; following our heart.Also TAKE A STEP honors Stan Edelson, a playwright, director, teacher and social activist from Cambridge Mass, whom I knew and worked with briefly in the mid 1970's. He died in October 2020, 94 years old.Support the show
