But there are many ways to be a hero. <br /><br />With the tragedy in Haiti I wonder how many people got that chance.Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-21924427774365774962010-01-14T04:59:53.024-08:002010-01-14T04:59:53.024-08:00I just read your examiner piece.

The only time you really know is when the moment happens.

I have heard that people do find that they had past lives. Sometimes you meet someone and have an instant connection. I don't rule out past lives.:)Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-48572876203136878182010-01-11T15:35:27.015-08:002010-01-11T15:35:27.015-08:00This is a hearbreaking story as the fire was total...This is a hearbreaking story as the fire was totally unnecessary, but the one positive to be gleaned is that Cesar gave his life to save another - this is really the ultimate sacrifice we can perform in life.<br /><br />I not only have memories of my prior life, but had it confirmed by four others in this life. One was the woman I died holding in the prior life, as we were all burned by Nazis in their path of destruction in Russia. As a result, fires have always been very scary for me as most are caused by man.<br /><br />My heart goes out to all of the family, relatives, friends, and neighbors. Your poem is a lovely tribute and will be read by many others.<br /><br />Blessings to all those affected by this.José Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860067230183443583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-14441591572871378272010-01-10T20:57:53.748-08:002010-01-10T20:57:53.748-08:00The Guy's Perspective,

One minute he was there on the porch and the next minute he was in the house and gone. The poem is my way of making sense of this experience and it did help me to understand what happened a little more. Thank you for letting me know that it affected you. <br /><br />When I write my feelings down as a poem it is almost always because something has touched me deeply! Then I thought of heroes in general and wrote the article for Examiner.com. I hope you got to read it too: <br />http://www.examiner.com/x-33746-NY-Literature-Examiner~y2010m1d8-How-real-are-the-heroes-in-literatureBarbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-55365471267842434632010-01-10T09:18:07.872-08:002010-01-10T09:18:07.872-08:00I just picture your neighbor running in to save hi...I just picture your neighbor running in to save his wife and I start tearing up.
