the power and grace to serve

When I realized I had locked my keys in my car in a store parking lot, and that my wife couldn’t bring her key because she was home without a car, a teenager on her  bike saw my predicament. “Call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get her key.” She rode seven miles and, an hour later, returned with my wife’s key. When I offered her  money, she said, “No, it’s okay. I needed the exercise.” Then, like the hero in the movies, rode off into the sunset.
“The end of the hero's journey is not the aggrandizement of the hero. The ultimate aim of the quest is not ecstasy for oneself, but the wisdom, and the grace, and the power to serve others.” – Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, today my soul awakens to the heroic nature of my true self. I cast off detached, passionless living and I give myself in service to the greater good, to the wellbeing of others. I honor the Divine presence in which we all live and have our being. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
