“The word secure comes from two small Latin words:

se meaning “without” and cure meaning “care”—being without care, freedom from anxiety.

Victor Hugo articulates this very special sense in this lovely couplet:

Be like the bird

That pausing in her flight

While on boughs too slight,

Feels them give way

Beneath her, and yet sings,

Knowing she hath wings.”

Secure.

To be without care.

That’s beautiful.

May we sing, knowing that we have wings…
