[size=75]When you are born,” the golem said
softly, “your courage is new and clean.

You are brave enough for anything:
crawling off of staircases, saying your

first words without fearing that someone
will think you are foolish, putting strange

things in your mouth. But as you get
older, your courage attracts gunk, and

crusty things, and dirt, and fear, and
knowing how bad things can get and

what pain feels like. By the time you’re
half-grown, your courage barely moves

at all, it’s so grunged up with living. So
every once in awhile, you have to scrub

it up and get the works going, or else
you’ll never be brave again.[/size]
