Superheroes

Elder gnomelet said to Mama gnome, "Mama, I wish I could fly."

Mama gnome asked,"Like a bird? Or like that plane up there?"

"No, no plane. Just me, just fly."

Mama gnome remembers her gnomelet days when she too wished to fly.

We all have secret aspirations for superpowers: fly, be invisible, have super-human strength. Powers to help us overcome obstacles.

Mama gnome told Daddy gnome, just today, a few hours ago, I said,

"I wish I had superpowers, so I can help fight the wildfires, arson fires. Then I can help save people, the animals and trees."


For weeks, the gnome family observed smoke plumes from the Station Fire.

"The still-burning Station Fire, north of Los Angeles, is the largest and deadliest of these wildfires, having burned more than 154,000 acres (62,300 ha) and killed two firefighters since it began in late August."

"At over 154,000 acres, the Station Fire is the largest wildfire in the modern history of Los Angeles County, passing the 105,000 acre (42,500 ha) Clampitt Fire of September 1970, and the 10th largest in modern California history."

The Station Fire was not some random incidental fire started by Mother Nature.

It was intentionally set and officials are conducting homicide and arson investigations.


Everyday, there are men and women, who may not have superpowers like flying or x-ray vision or invisibility, yet everyday they go out into the world as if they do, in order to save humans and animals, houses and trees.

Mama gnome wants to thank all these superheroes: our brave firefighters.

You are all superheroes.

Be a superhero and help save our planet.

More than ever, lives and homes need to be rebuilt, forests need to replanted.

Be brave and go out there and go green.
