Everyday strengths
We'd all love to have a superpower.
But how about commonpowers? What’s one of yours?
I’d love to be able to fly, and I have to believe teleportation would help me arrive on time more often. Superpowers are so fun to imagine!
But I’ve been reminded lately about commonpowers-- the ordinary, day-in-and-day-out abilities that--when you get right down to it--are actually what change the world. These are the kinds of things that we do even without thinking, the skills and talents that come naturally and usually go unnoticed. These are the gifts that we often give without even knowing that we are giving them.
This Sunday I'll be lending my question-asking commonpowers to an online event that explores this concept a little more in depth, and you're welcome to join us! But for now, I’m curious how you might describe your ordinary powers! What are some of the unremarkable ways that you change your own little corner of the world?
