The legend of Lady Godiva is not a sweet one, but one of great courage. Lady G (God Diva) was an 11th Century English noblewoman, and although married to the Lord of the land, was very troubled by how much the peasants were taxed. Just like today’s Wendy of Texas and Malala of Pakistan, she relentlessly spoke her truth to power and endured the resulting ride. As the story goes, she refused to remain silent to what she thought was unjust and unfair and protested profusely. Being she was nobility, the authorities just jested with her saying if she would ride naked through the town they would help the oppressed. She did and they did. In the nakedness of her truth, courage reigned and help delivered. By the way, Godiva means “gift of God”…maybe a new name for courage.
