If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?

When I first read this question I thought to myself that I’d like the ability to become invisible. But, then I thought about Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. He could become invisible when he put on the ring and look how he turned out. It would probably not be a terribly positive supernatural ability. Too many temptations to use the ability for all the wrong reasons.

Then I thought about flying. Which would be really cool and save me time and gas money (in good weather). But, if I’m the only one who could do it, then it doesn’t profit me much. Think about it. If I wanted to go anywhere with Wendy then she’d have to follow me below in the car like she was the chase vehicle for a hot air balloon and what’s the point of that? Just because I could fly wouldn’t give me the strength I’d need to carry anybody with me over long distances like Superman.

So, I think the supernatural ability to heal others would be my pick. I’d love the ability to instantly make a fractured mind, a diseased body and/or broken spirit whole again. It wouldn’t make me comic book cool. “Healing Man” just doesn’t strike me as bright spandex and cape worthy. Nevertheless, it would make a huge difference in the lives of others.
