Does God Have a Hero?

Does God Have a Hero? 

over 25 years ago I wrote a little handbook for myself. I titled the book Does God Have a Hero? and it was meant to be a guide for the upcoming years of sobriety, a decade of heavy drinking fresh behind me, and I was ready for some guidance greater than my own. For me, the title signified a life of service and forgiveness, after sitting in meditation one morning, feeling lost and unsure of direction - I asked God for my path to be revealed and the answer received was an intuitive poem.

soon after a series of essays followed, one for each stanza, and indeed, it felt like a guidebook for me, a clear direction with my new gift of sobriety. My talk of God and guidance shouldn't be confused with any religious views or sense, this wasn't channeled material from a higher realm or spirit-guide. It was just compassionate common sense from a part of me that had been long blocked off through fearful living. It was, and still is, the voice of God through my own best understanding. 

it was heart speaking directly to me.

and I was finally ready to listen.

in a sales sense, the book didn't do so well, published through one of the first print on demand houses, and with no funds for promotion, only a few people have ever read it. Yet it's my book, inspired, and it's message has been well lived by me. Not always successfully so, but the effort was always there to live by the loving guidelines provided. 

so does God have a hero?

I don't know. 

but I live my life as if it's so, 

compassionately, with deep care for others, practicing forgiveness. 

and that's enough for me,

even after 25 years.
