Superman?

Super-Hero, supernatural or just Clerk Kent with a beard?
Superman can fly, so can I (but it costs a bit more). Superman can run faster than a speeding train, why bother when you can sit in comfort and watch the world go by? Superman can crash through concrete walls, bend iron bars and break whole trees with his little finger . . . such mindless destruction is so passé these days. Besides, one look at my kryptonite and the poor guy rolls around on the floor like a baby. Huh, super-hero my arse!
Can Superman heal your back, fix your baby’s colic or contact your dead Grandmother? I don’t think so! Ahh, it’s all in a day’s work for “Gjørahealer! Healer from the upper valley”. Hmmm, it doesn’t really have the same ring to it as “Superman – Man of steel” but I am not really so interested in the whole super-hero thing, too many expectations and bad PR will exile you to the realms of fallen hero’s like Super-Ted, He-Man and the Thunder-Cats.
I digress, once again . . . my question here is whether putting my hands on someone and them becoming well again makes me something special? Is it super-natural or simply something really quite natural?

Without doubt, there are times when I am working with someone on fixing a problem, and something happens, I feel what is going on inside them and can literally see the problem being fixed. Now, don’t tell me that’s not strange! Even though, in the cold light of day, to think back and remember what happened may seem odd, at the time, it is all encompassing and feels very normal.

It is the same type of thing when I speak with dead people. To most normal folk, speaking to the dead is something best left to the crazies but for me it just seems normal. No, before you ask, I’m quite sure I’m not crazy. But to consider the idea that my working life is spent dealing with things no one can see, yet get physical results from, it is a little strange but it doesn’t make me any more special than someone who works with wood. You would understand this if you asked me to saw a straight line. . . I simply can’t do it

Back to my point, we can forget the super-hero type when it comes to things of this nature, and I also think we can rule out anything super-natural although if you take the true nature of the phrase, super-natural – very natural, then what I do probably is. . . super-natural but the connotation these days is somewhat different. So, Clerk Kent with a beard, that’s me. Normal, natural but dealing with things that we tend not to see when looking with our eyes.

Nevertheless, taking all this into account, I would still prefer to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, have x-ray vision and save damsels in distress.
