Robin Williams ~ A Superpower Star that Lives on in Each One of Us

Teach Thought 30 day blogging challenge ~ Day 16 ~ If you could have any superpower, what would it be and how would it help?

It would be the superpower to make a powerfully positive influence in every one of my student's lives forever.

I'm not kidding. To spend your life and energy giving life and energy to others is no different than what allows our entire universe to exist. 

A star gives its light and energy out into the universe, and if it's a big enough star, explodes out into the universe during its supernova death, the nuclei of its atoms fusing together to spread the building blocks of life:

- the oxygen in our lungs
- the carbon in our muscles
- the calcium in our bones
- the iron in our blood

The elements of life are born in the fiery heart of a dying star.

And add to that the precious elements gold, silver and platinum.

During their lives giant stars are ablaze in magnificence.

At their death they give themselves to enable us to find our own magnificence. 

Robin Williams was a giant star, and has done exactly what a giant star in the universe does with both his life and his death.

Thank you Robin. 

You are the superpower I want to be for my students.
