showing up as the guardian

Omvati Devi may have saved hundreds of lives in India by waving her red sari to stop a train after noticing broken tracks further down the line. Spotting the woman, the engineer stopped the train just in time. “I was on my way to work when I saw the broken track,” she said. “I had heard that red means danger.”
“The hero is in tune with the “love your neighbor” teaching. You see this all the time, people doing selfless things for each other. So, when Jesus says, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," he is saying in effect, "Love thy neighbor because she is yourself." – Joseph Campbell 
Affirmative prayer: I give thanks for the hero in all of us, for the selflessness, courage, and sense of connection that makes us our sisters’ and brothers’ keeper. Infinite Presence, today, I show up as the guardian that I am called to be. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
