Role Model

3/10/11

How heartening to be surprised

when meeting someone new

who brings out feelings of admiration,

thoughts that something might be possible

because here is living proof,

a person doing what's been dreamed of

in quiet questioning of 'could I',

standing there as real example,

perhaps we're all pioneering explorers

for those who come behind,

showing a trail through life

by making unique way forward

knowing we can never replicate

specifically what another has done,

yet, an archetypal pattern often surfaces

which carries a kind of universality

spawning infinite diverse offshoots

where we're both different and the same,

no less than great leader, saint,

or more than the downtrodden,

each carries seeds that are necessary

for greater unfolding of humanity,

young and old teaching one another

evolving in dance of the miraculous,

inspiring courage by being genuine 'Self'

as authentic role model living one's truth.
