A Sacred Prayer for Courage
"Garnet keeper of sacred flame,
Ignite my spirit, bless my name.
Root me deep in Earth's sure grace,
Let fear dissolve without a trace.
Forge my will with cosmic fire,
Lift my hope ever higher.
In your crimson light I see
The bravest truth of what I’ll be.
So it is, and so I rise -
Courage burning in my eyes."
