HEROES

Our’s is a world of heroes and villains. We see both every day in in our personal lives and on the world stage. It is without question that we emulate the heroes; we long to be heroic in whatever way we can.  The markings of a hero is one that often and repeatedly does the exceptional. Heroes exhibit certain greatness and are many times lauded but often they show a quiet, restrained resilience that remains unrecognized by most. You know them and I’m certain you have many of your own.

 I have always been drawn to and recognize many in literature, myth, legend and in real life. Samson and Superman; Kennedy and King, just to name a very few. This page features some of those men and women of the arts of whom I love them all. They are hardly stand alone but I recognize them here.
