Heroes

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."  Joseph Campbell

I think Joseph Campbell is referring to an interior or exterior journey, in which one encounters and deals with various challenges.   The word hero is genderless:  meaning someone who is admired for outstanding qualities or achievements or someone who is brave.  I think caregivers are brave, and I salute all of you who have or are providing caregiving in any capacity.  Even being in relationship and daring to be intimate -- that is to let yourself be known by someone else -- takes courage.   In what ways have you been heroic?
