"Of Courage and Heroism"

[July 2022]

Garnet is the stone
of courage and heroism.

It gleams on the shields and
badges of first responders,
a silent reminder of

the blood that may be
shed at any moment,

and a wellspring of
strength to continue

as long as they hold it.

Notes:

Garnet, in turn is recognized for blessing us with courage and vitality when it comes to health.

I love the association of garnet and blood. The connection between blood as a result of damage and of the strength to heal is so perfect.
