Hi Shayne,
What a wonderful story. And you had the "mystery guest's" voice down pat. I figured out who he was as soon as he mentioned, in a slow soft voice, that he had heard the Superman had been helping people.
I subscribe to the
A Word A Day mailing list. In addition to a word and its definition, each e-mail includes a thought for the day; today's seems to me to match your story perfectly:
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I will try. -Rainer Maria Rilke, poet and novelist (4 Dec 1875-1926)
Joy,
