Hullo folks. Decided against the double blog posts, so PoL2 will continue here for the forseeable future. Tonight I ask a simple question...have you ever felt like something was missing from your life? That seems to be the question posed in Silver Surfer #140, part 1 of Sun Rise, Shadow Fall.
It re-presents the origin of the Surfer, who started life as a humanesque person named Norrin Radd. Norrin never felt like he has completed his full destiny, even though he was a highly successful businessman on his planet Zenn-La and has the girl of his dreams, Shalla Bal. He seeks to see the wonders of the Unending Universe, to visit the light of stars billions of miles away, to hear the song of the Galaxies. Though the technology of Zenn-La can let Radd visit "the Stars", he knows in his heart that it is not real, only illusion, and he still feels less than full. Once the world destroyer Galactus comes to devour Zenn-La, Norrin calls out to him and in turn gets changed into the emissary of Galactus, the Silver Surfer. Covered in a silver substance that makes him impervious to space and its rigors, he is now finally free to explore the uncharted reaches of space and fufill his destiny! Though he loses his precious Shalla Bal, he gained everything else he ever desired.
Some days I feel as though I am waiting for my own Galactus "event" to explode my destiny forward. Do any of you ever feel as though you've reached your ceiling and that there is a necessary person/thing/event that you must experience in order to fufill your dreams? I feel that every day I wake up....I'm in a waiting room right now, waiting for that specific event that will propel me to the top. Hopefully we will all sleep well tonight, and wake up in the morning ready to find our own destiny, no longer waiting for it to fall into our laps. The lesson tonight is this...we must all reach out and grasp our own destiny...no one can prepare it for us, nor can anyone excel in our place. We must all reach for the stars of our own dreams, and never forget to thank those who helped us succeed in our goals. Remember kids, even our ex-friends and enemies have helped us, by providing the push necessary to show them they were wrong, and let them see exactly what they missed out on being a part of....something special or not.
Good night, and good luck
Heath
