Thinking about Superman

I was looking up at the moon this evening and noticed another light nearby. And I wondered... Star? Planet? Or Superman with a reeeaaallly big flashlight?

And I got to thinking, what is it I love about Superman? Or really any superhero with a secret identity? (Zorro, Batman, Spiderman...)

I think it's the idea that behind any ordinary person, there could be someone with an extraordinary ability to do something special. And I'm an ordinary person. Maybe I am capable of something extraordinary too.

What do I mean maybe?

I am anything but ordinary.

There are things I can do that no one else can. People I can connect with. Stories I can write. Songs I can sing. Encouragement I can give.

I am a unique phenomenon, never to be duplicated.
