Heroes

Sunset from my sisters patio

Heroes are transmutation agents — people who alchemize suffering and restlessness and rage into love, who compost disappointment into fertilizer for growth, who break down cynicism to its building blocks of helplessness and hubris, then metabolize the toxin out of the system we call society.

Marian Popova

We awoke to a dusting of snow this morning. I meet my friend Mark this morning for breakfast then do a couple of things around the house. I am thankful this morning for the heroes that I have in my life, both men and women. My life is richer because of the heroes who have loved me, those beautiful transmutation agents. Stay warm and have a wonderful day!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Most heroes don’t wear capes or costumes, though it would be fun if they did. They are more like Clark Kent than Superman, but they are heroes all the same. Welcome back to Colorado weather, Monte!

      And some of those heroes don’t know they are or even see themselves as heroes. It has been cold all day, Switching from cloudy skies to sunshine to snow. We’re are looking at a low of 20 degrees tonight and the next five nights. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow!!
