30 Aug Honey-Coated Heroes
It is human nature to seek inspiration from the world around us, whether it be found in nature or mankind; and while it is rare to find things like perfect tomatoes, it is even rarer to encounter heroic men. I refer not to the archetype of caped crusaders running into burning buildings — though there is something heroic in that — but instead to those whose intelligence and expression of values are helping to change the world on a grand scale, one action at a time. Perhaps they have found a new way to farm a staple crop, or their daily mission is to clear the path from government interference, making the world more free.
My radar is always up to spot such men, for inspirational reasons and due to the fact that I intend to get my hands on one. They are out there, and when I spot them I get terribly excited — knowing they exist gives me a soulful thrill; they reinforce my belief that values and passion can be harnessed to achieve grand goals many are too timid or lazy to attempt.
Given my proclivity toward sensual pursuits, I have visions of finding one such man and bathing him in milk and honey as the scent of vanilla permeates the air, but that is a meditation for another day. 😉
