The ordinary man.

Once upon a time there was a man.... he was not a king, knight, wizard or anything spectacular.

He was just an ordinary man, a man who valued honesty, integrity and above all else the love of his daughter

The thing about the ordinary man though, was that he lived in a world full of people, who instead of valuing virtues mostly valued material things.

The ordinary man always felt on earth that he was different, other people never understood him. He was lonely and felt himself between worlds.

The earth a tiny dot behind him, the moon a tiny dot ahead.

If he got to the moon would it be everything he dreamed of?

Would it be worth everything he left behind?

He contemplated to himself in the lonely exile that was his mind.... see the blight of the ordinary man is painfully simple and difficult at the same time... the ordinary man loves everyone completely and despite the wrong doings of people, he still has faith in humanity to do better as a whole if they are given the chance

The universe heard the exile of the ordinary man and spoke to him quietly through the whispers of the trees.

The trees whispered to the ordinary man in natures most beautiful voice, that as lonely as he felt, he needed to stay. The trees explained that an ordinary man, a man who cared not for material objects but instead for his daughter, could not leave this world, not yet at least.

The trees began to dance meticulously and the ordinary man no longer felt exiled. He looked at where the trees swayed and heard the divine tones of the stars above.

The voice of the vast unknown universe above him... the sounds of the trees around him, connecting him to earth, singing to him harmoniously.

The ordinary man, humbled by this, realised that he was not just connected to the earth or the universe but instead that everyone and everything was connected.

The strongest wave of empathy he had ever known washed over him, he felt everyones sadness, joy, anxiety, grief and anger but the strongest feeling felt was the feeling of love, he knew this because it was the same love he felt his daughter.

Everything in the universe had an unconditional and unlimited amout of love within them, the ordinary man smiled, he understood why he could not leave the earth, not yet anyway.

It wasnt his purpose to make people aware that unconditional love was within them, that would be too much too be expected of an ordinary man.

The ordinary man though, could love his daughter and guide her into helping the world improve, for she was not ordinary, she was extraordinary, exceptional to say the least.

Nova, this was the ordinary mans daughters name... a star shining exceptionally bright... and shine bright she would.

The ordinary mans biggest accomolishment would forever be his daughter. Always the brightest star in his universe.

As ordinary as he was, her dads love for her would forever and alway be,

From before time itself and forever after.

The end.
