I think we all have super powers. They vary, and some are more useful than others. I have two super powers. One has no practical benefit. The other is that I can always determine the right container for leftovers. It’s a small thing, this super power, but it’s useful.
But it occurs to me that a great super power would be able to see, in the smallest moment that this little moment is special.
I don’t have that one. I’d like it, but instead I just look back on a moment many hours later and realize there was a sweet little perfection today.
The Yankee and I went out for lunch. We walked down two blocks to the local fast food fake burrito shop and then we walked back up toward our building on campus. Just across the street we stopped at that flowerbed and I took a few pictures and a little sliver of video and this was a delightful moment to be with someone important. I’d like to be able to more often realize that sort of thing during, rather than after.
Everybody has one, or two or more. Everyone should have that one, I think. What’s your super power?
