Who Is Your Spiritual Mentor?

Yesterday many wrote in their xangas about their memories of 9/11 and its impact. As we searched our collective soul in its immediate aftermath, we enjoyed a heightened awareness of something that is ordinarily lacking in our experience - heroes. Real life heroes. We became acquainted with a lot of heroes as their stories were told and retold and the inspiration born of their heroism helped heal our nation.

I have noticed recently some xangas discussing their expectations of spiritual guides, advisors or mentors. Do these comments about what we would like to see in a good spiritual mentor suggest that there is currently a void? Who are our spiritual heroes?

My question today is:...

Do you have a spiritual mentor? If so, who is it? Would you be willing to tell the story of your spiritual mentor to inspire members of the xanga community in their spiritual growth?
