My Heroes

Some people thrive on constant movement and excitement, but I think they are looking for something that is not a natural part of living, like playing video games until you can get to the top level in ten minutes every time. In the long run, who really cares?

Other people are terrified of anything unfamiliar. I understand this because I am a lot like these people. It is the fear that I might not be quite as independent and capable as I should be. Change something and I might fail and then? Well, who knows what might happen, but it might be horrible. Right?

And then there are the people who just move along, occasionally whooshing down a waterfall, or sleeping fifteen hours at one time, but mostly just doing their thing as mindfully as they possibly can.

My heroes.
