What Is Your Super Power?

2/4/2021

The other day my daughter shared with me an exercise that was given to her in a healing group she was attending. The question was: "What is your Super Power and can you draw it?"

I loved this question and I was curious what her Super Power would be. She sent me her drawing in response.

Of course, I was so touched by her drawing. It felt precious to me and deeply tender. But instead of interpreting it for myself, I asked her to tell me what her Super Power was. 

"Compassion" was her answer. My heart skipped a bit because I felt genuinely happy that this is how she perceives herself; as someone who is skilled at not only feeling compassionate, but able to offer compassion to others. Needless to say,  this was a Proud Mama moment. 

When it comes to Presence, what would you say your Super Power is? Is it Patience, Humility, Loving-Kindness, Deep Listening, or some other Virtue of the Spirit? Perhaps it's Compassion like my daughter. I am still pondering mine. Right now I think it's Equanimity—staying steady in these times of global challenge. 

Whatever your answer, may your Super Power continue to rise and shine so all your interactions with others are of the healing kind.

I love this. Not sure what mine is without some pondering, but it's a good thing to process.

I appreciate your postings even if I don't always comment. :-)
