Heroes

 Super Hero

Walking through this life,

it is possible to tread softly,

being a hero to the earth,

behaving harmlessly,

practicing loving care, 

with sympathy and humility,

even in the face of opposition.

It is possible to be strong,

a healer more than not,

smothering anger, hate and bitterness 

with charity, compassion, tenderness.

What one does to rejoice 

in each day matters,

more than any of us can know.

So, look in the mirror, my heroes,

see what’s super about you,

the lightworker who we see.

Think about the novitiate,

tending to the mountaintop abbey,

as she creates peace in the world

while simply sweeping the walkways

with a pure heart.
