For some srange obscure reason...I've been hearing rainbow songs looping in my head.
And that often leads to Kermit the Frog's rendition of "Rainbow Connection"
Invariably it leads me to remember Jim Henson, the Muppets and Sesame Street.
Its pretty amazing how a bunch of puppets can make me feel happy. But they did.
They intrigued me and made me want to know more about them.
I never really had a favourite...but I guess their various personalities kinda formed a part of my consciousness. And they taught me values such as love and respect for one another. They taught me that it was ok to make mistakes and that one had to apologise and be responsible. They taught me also to forgive when others make mistakes. And that the world would be a much better place if we learnt to forgive.
They showed me that friends would love each other, no matter what size or difference there was. They showed me that we all have different qualities which you can learn to admire. Some are better in music and others are good in acting, some are good at cooking while others are just made to count. Some may look dirty and ugly and live in garbage cans...but as long as their heart is pure and gold...then the world will always be a better place.
These puppets showed me that the world is beautiful. I will always see it that way.
And all it takes sometimes...is for just one person to believe in you.
Thank you Jim Henson...for making me believe. And for showing me that I can also believe in others.
Listen to this song. It is one of my favourite. A little unknown song that means a lot to me...
