Have you ever wanted to dress up like a Super Hero?
Don't lie, I know its true :)
I know that I always wanted to be Batman and in some ways, I still do. We all have these intrinsic, funny desires in some way or another, or at least, we have these wild, childhood heroes that we admire and long to be like.
Well, I just read an article about a Thai Fireman who dressed up like Spiderman to get a boy who has autism down from a third story window. The boy was frightened about school and once the fireman put the costume on, the boy came down quickly. You can read the story for yourself at http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090324/od_afp/thailandchildrenoffbeat%3B_ylt%3DAk8OqrUvs2SiiemPR9IJ8KsDW7oF
I just thought this story was brilliant. His creativity is inspiring. And his true empathy, to walk in the shoes of a young boy with Autism, is just empowering.
And so, may we all dress in our spiderman costumes to be creative and engage this world :)
Grace and Peace,
Micah
