It's a bit overwhelming how heavy things can be to carry at times. And just when, "I thought it was already heavy as can be" (Iron and Wine, Waitin for Superman), it gets heavier.
The idea of the superhero; someone stronger, braver, smarter, quicker gives us hope. Expectation in a weakened state, fortitude to persist. A SUPERHERO, a being created to aid and protect us through adversity and catastrophe, in turn, makes us fearless. The feeling of invincibility, like being bullet proof, after watching a superhero in action boosts our assurance and gives us an ora of credence.
Unfortunately, sometimes heartbreak drives a faster car, dissapointment soars higher in the clouds, affliction blows through thicker walls. What do we do then, when something is too heavy to lift and even too heavy for our superheroes?....then reality checks in, and we are forced to remember Who the real superhero is and will always be. Because no car is made faster, there is nothing that can soar higher, and no creature stronger than Him.
