It’s A Bird…It’s A Plane…It’s Sister Rain

Posted on August 25, 2016 By Sister Rain

Someone asked me yesterday what my super power would be. Without hesitation I said, “sight”.

X-ray vision? 20/20 will do NICELY.

Ability to fly? Driving a car again is the only method of transport I need.

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Being able to see the depth of a curb or a step would be more than enough. 

Faster than a speeding bullet? Nah, too hard on the kicks.

Amazing strength? I’m going to toot my own horn here and venture to say that after the last few years, I have found amazing strength in all the ways that count. Can I lift a train over my head? Never say never until you’re faced with the challenge.  

Read minds? I can intuit what the people closest to me have got cooking upstairs. If I can’t, I ask.

Be invisible? I’ve spent the last three and a half years having most things and people be invisible to me. It’s not fun and I don’t wish for anyone to not be able to see me or anything else for that matter.

No cape, no golden lasso, no tights, THANK HEAVENS.

Just like Dorothy, I’ve always had the power but recovering my eyesight, well, that would be super.
