Twenty Seconds of Insane Courage

Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally, twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery and I promise you, something great will come of it.  ~ We Bought a Zoo

Insane courage.
Embarrassing bravery.
Twenty seconds.
An old lawyer,
thirty-plus years ago
listening to facts
of a hopeless case,
shaking his head,
saying, "Sometimes
the best way out
is through."
A few months ago
another wise man
gave me advice.
I'm thinking about it.
Driving there's
a lot longer than
twenty seconds.
But the hard part...
yeah. Twenty seconds
would cover it.
But I'm scared.
And that's the point.
