Courage~~~

A 60-year old Australian woman jumped on the back of a crocodile as it dragged a 34-year old man from his tent. The crocodile let go of the man and attacked the woman, dragging her toward the ocean until it was fatally shot. The attack occurred around 4 a.m. on the shores of Bathurst Bay, 186 miles north of Cairns in Queensland state. The man suffered a broken leg and the woman had an arm broken in the attack.

 

Sometimes courage comes from where we’d least expect it~

WoW!!

Courage is strong heart, With only the thought of good. To reach beyond the immediate, To save someone else. Courage comes in many forms, In extraordinary acts, In every day people Who are heros.

Jumping into the jaws of death to try & save that man took a lot of courage. Crocs & gators may seem sluggish, but can act fast enough to jump out of the water and grab an animal as large as a cow before it knows what’s happening (Discovery Channel). Adrift, you said a great truth simply and elegantly: “What does a woman want ~ To be loved for herself~”

that is awesome. I think we would all surprize ourselves. I am sure we all have the ability to step in harms way to save someone dear to us. But do we have the same ability to save a stranger? Goes unknown for sure unless put into that situation. Hope they are both ok.
