The Hero At The Checkout Counter

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

– Christopher Reeve –

The Hero At The Checkout Counter

When a musician encounters an extraordinary unsung hero at the checkout counter of his neighborhood grocery store, he is so moved that he cannot get the experience out of his mind for weeks. His thoughts and feelings eventually manifest into words on his blog: “When real heroism steps out of a movie, or off the pages of a book…it has the capacity to touch a part of you that has been sleeping. It reaches right into your soul, and reminds you what you could be…No matter what storms life may bring, when you meet real heroism, it reminds you what you sometimes forget: that you can rise to the occasion.” Read on for the full story of Amitabhan’s inspiring experience with a humble hero, and what he learned from it. { read more }
