I met Rick today for the first time. I was sitting in a cafe, studying the notes my chinese teacher had given me, and he walked in. I stood, we shook hands, and exchanged pleasantries. "It is so good to finally meet you." But, the thing is, it didn't feel like we were meeting for the first time. I know it sounds corny and cliche, but what the heck.
He began talking to me about my trip, my journey and my mission. He told me that I will become his legs, that I am his second wind, that he believes in me...
He talked about having that "bone" in your body, that drive to stop at nothing, to face opposition head on and the ability to sacrifice "it all" for the sake of greater good... I have always wanted to feel that I would do anything for a cause, that I would have no fear of opposition or danger. It is everyones dream to have this kind of passionate intensity for something they believe in. And though I have yet to be tested, and have yet to experience true resistance there is something, deep inside me, something that hangs around my neck, and rests in my heart, that makes me absolutely 100% positive that when presented with a challenge, I will rise above it and surpass expectations. It tells me, in a soft, inaudible voice that given the chance I will risk everything to change the world, and to help those who have been forgotten. I know without evidence because this is my calling. I am on the right path, doing what is right for me, working to accomplish the goal set before me by forces beyond my comprehension. And I have the confidence to feel this way because of you...
Rick says that I will be the legs... Well, you all will be the heart.
