Letting The Hero Die

My mother described me as stubborn and it wasn't as a term of affection. I think she was spot on in seeing this need to stand on my own two feet as Dalai Lama often quoted. The stubborn is resilence to follow a path other than what was wanted for me. Yet I believe that was a hero path and I didn't have to let go as it was destroyed as so many supporting structures were as well. So yes I am nothing and in being nothing I can experience solidarity with all. Weird, right?

Not weird! You are someone and something original in your “nothingness.” My greatest Hero is Jesus. He came to literally save the world! Did He act like a hero? No Did He look like a hero? No Did He seek the attention of a hero? No In my own personal nothingness…emptying of myself…I make room for my Hero. Quietly, not weird (like you).
