my hero
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life...... is a thought that deeply troubles me. Who else could be a hero in my life? Does my life have any heroes? I am certainly not a hero by any imagination of the word, but I could be a hero of my own life. I could be if I could overcome my main weakness...procrastination. I sure it's not to late. I just have to get started. I'll do that tomorrow. Right now I have to take a nap.

ReplyDeleteStan, I love how your mind comes through in your writing. Living these questions is what it's all about. Mary Oliver says in her poem "The Journey" -
ReplyDelete"One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began....
as you strove deeper and deeper into the world determined to do the only thing you could do - determined to save the only life you could save."
Yes, Stan, you are the hero of your own life.
if truth be told Amy, you may be the hero (heroin) of my life. I am truly inspired by your writing.
ReplyDeleteIt's like I used to tell the kids when I coached.
If you do not see the best, how do you know how good you can be?
