Our heroes are staring at us in the mirror..

I cannot help but marvel at the human capacity to overcome tremendous suffereing and find a way to go on. It would be one thing if we released all our holding right after the trauma, but that we continue to carry them and still find the faith to believe in a better tomorrow is simply heroic. I think of the shawdow material that takes up space inside many of us, repressed emotions, unsaid words, armored musculature, collective trauma, and then marvel at our capacity to weave optimism, faith and determination into the heart of it. Mindfields and goldmines sitting side by side in the inner valley. Let's stop looking for our heroes " out here." They are staring at us in the mirror. - Jeff Brown, Love it forward
