Of Courage and Umbrellas

I carry along an umbrella everywhere I go. Not because I’m hoping, or apprehending rain, but because I feel naked without it.

Sometimes people tell me it’s OCD . Others say it’s ridiculous to carry it around.

But I tell people it’s like courage. You may not be hoping for a chance to show your courage, and you may not think you’ll need it…

But it’s always a good thing to have around.
