Silent Heroes
by GrrlScientist
My world is flled with
heroes in waiting -- artists
whose masterpieces
are brushstrokes in other
people's lives -- my true wealth is
my silent heroes.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Cold rainy friday, as winter returns.
So, we ask the iPod - what is in store for us this spring semester?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.
A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive;" or because he is cruel.
“Hard times don’t create heroes. It is during the hard times when the ‘hero’ within us is revealed.” -Bob Riley
A lot of kids have personal "culture heroes" when they are growing up. I suppose athletes and celebrities predominate, maybe a political personage here and there. But I suspect lots of kids also have scientists or artists as personal heroes.
Here's hoping I created some useful brushstrokes today. Beautiful.
What a lovely tribute - and lovely poem, too.
