Our Superpower

I’m sitting with one of my grandsons as he quietly draws a picture in the kitchen. He is very focused and still. The most introverted of my grandchildren.

”What are you drawing Angus?”

He becomes animated. “I’m just doing scores for this guy”. And then a whole explanation of why this guy he has drawn is getting his scores, in a Top Trumps kind of way, involving a whole world of imagination inside of Angus’s head.

The guy has a “knockback” of 99 btw. You’ve got to admit…that’s impressive.

In our imaginations, we are the King or Queen of the whole frikin’ empire. Nobody else controls it. Nobody needs to know what’s going on in there. And nobody can take it away from us.

Imagination is Our Superpower.
