Remember? One of my 90-day goals was to invent a SuperHero identity, complete with costume. Well, I did that, and got a big surprise. I found TWO SuperHeros – Past and Future. Here’s what happened…
First, I invented my SuperHero VOLTA – the Voice of Light & Truth for All. For weeks I pondered her costume. I knew she would have a sword & shield. And armor. Oh boy! Christmas gifts! Thank you, Herbert, Annie & Brian!
It was time for the video…
Problem… dressed in the Knight costume, I was speechless. That person had no voice. I waved the sword around, as if jousting… but no words came out.
I removed the knight outfit, and changed into bright clothing. Without the armor, brightly dressed, I was free to speak freely, as VOLTA, my SuperHero.
Disappointed, I put the Knight costume on again. I listened, and another SuperHero emerged. The Warrior, from my past. Only after VOLTA had spoken, did The Warrior come forward to tell her story. I felt it rise from deep within. Brian captured on video, unrehearsed, the first words she uttered.
From the PAST – The Warrior – Victorious survivor, crusader, renegade knight, fighter of dragons and demons, battling her way from darkness into light. Always battling, pushing forward, SMASHING every barrier, breaking bones along the way…
Completely covered and protected from attack – the Warrior – wearing the VictimHood, the Cloak of Invisibility, and chain-mail body armor. Safe. Hidden. But what a cost! No way for friends or loved ones to get close. NO ONE knew her. She had no voice. Until VOLTA was created – the Voice of Light & Truth for All.
What a contrast!
From the Future – VOLTA! reaching back to our day, calling me forward. Brightly dressed, vulnerable, daring greatly, with courage equal to the Warrior. Boldly calling out “Here I Am… I stand in the light!” Free from heavy armor, quick and agile, Volta steps lightly in peace, yet is ever vigilant. With the same Sword of the Spirit and same Shield of Faith she wards off fiery incoming darts.
Volta is a Guide, a beacon of Hope, a powerful stand for Freedom. She IS Love. Guardian of the Path – she makes it safe. She invites us to Be Real. Take a Chance. Love fully. Laugh and cry, and let it all go.
Past or Future? We choose in each moment.
But Wait! What would it be like to choose NOW?
Hmmm. I think I will invent THAT SuperHero next!
I’ve been thinking…
What fun it would be to play dress up like little kids.
With you and our friends, and a whole trunk full of costumes! What would you wear?
Until we meet again,
I am sending you a HUGE burst of love to light up Your Journey of You.
Can you feel it?
