What is a hero?
Must they save someone else
in order to be bestowed with
this title?
Is there always danger and peril
involved?
Is the other person
too full of fear to act on their own?
Are they outnumbered, outsmarted, outmuscled?
Why is a hero's identity secret?
Why do we not consider
the person of integrity and character
who has made purposeful decisions
in their life
that lead to financial, emotional, relational and bodily strength
as someone that...
could swoop in with their
habits and ideas and perseverance and wisdom
to save us?
Why do we need drama?
Fanfare?
Why not the consistent choices in daily living that creates
lives and a world worth living in...
and one worth saving.

To consider: who do you consider to be a hero in your own life and how have they "saved" you?
