we...

Several weeks ago one of our nephews was visiting Bud...
A highlight in his life.
When these two get together...
It's nothing short of SUPER.

Super giggling...
Super loving...
Super costumes...
Super happiness...
Super volume...
SUPER CHARGED. 

In the middle of the "super" fest...
We decided to go to our neighborhood park.
The 90 degree weather did not deter these two growing heroes...
From their powerful duties...
Nor the ensembles that accompany such important tasks.

After much running...
Trying to avoid heat exhaustion...
Bud decided to rest a bit.
During his pause...
His cousin asked with the greatest concern...
"Elliott, why are we not saving the day?"

It made my heart chuckle...
It made my mind think.
It encouraged my soul to process...
The precious power and possibilities of "we."

When we join forces with the entourage we so deeply love...

Courageous power emerges...
It's as if NOTHING can stop us...
And NOTHING'S impossible.

Whether we are 5 or 95...
Great joy arises in us all...
When we believe that what we hold in our hands is truly powerful.

Imagine what we could do...
If we really believed that power lies in our very fingertips...
If we lived our lives in childlike faith and wonder.

Together...

We...

Just might have the courage to attempt what we might never try alone.

Like saving the day...
Or perhaps even the world!
