Courage Series Charms - Endurance

This Series features multiple designs that represent important attributes associated with the overall idea of Courage. Each one features a graphic image of the attribute on one side, and the word on the other.  ~~~~~~~~~~~ Endurance The Endurance charm shows a pointed arch with flying buttresses above. The arch is carrying the unseen weight of the building it helps support and in doing so, protects the Sphere suspended beneath it. As an architectural element a pointed arch is incredibly strong, while also being beautifully graceful. Its strength deflects the force of gravity, returning the weight load it is carrying directly back into the Earth. In the carving on the charm, the arch allows the Sphere to float in space with room all around it. It has clearance on all sides, even if the space isn't wide open. This safe space is something you can create for yourself with Endurance. The overall image reminds us that we can bear the heaviest of weight and remain strong enough to protect what is most important to us. It may take extended periods of time for change to occur, yet in the meantime, we can exist w with grace and calm. We can allow ourselves a small amount of room to breathe, even when there is a tremendous strain on us from outside forces. The Sphere is the reminder of Serene Self, able to exist with Endurance and focus any stress down and away from our inner sanctum.
