Heroes

"To display the lantern of the soul in shadowy times like these--to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.  Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it....  When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt.  But that is not what great ships are built for."  Clarissa Pinkola Estes
