What We Need Is Surely Courage
This piece captures the quiet but determined bond between two sisters living in the shadow of harm. The younger does not look away from the pain the older carries—she feels it too. But she does not collapse beneath it. Instead, she wraps her presence around her sister like a shelter, a whisper, a promise: “You are not alone. And there is still time to choose something better.” She knows that what must be done will not be easy. Leaving means fear, judgment, maybe even danger. But one thing is clear—they cannot choose to remain in a place where hope has already died. This is not just encouragement. It is a plea born of love and desperation, a hand reaching out from the edge of endurance, saying: “If we don't move now, we may never move at all.”
