“If you want to live life freely, take your time go slowly…” I got this line from the movie Brother Sun and Sister Moon. The story that depicts the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
One day, I was so desperate. I searched for answers to my questions. I have been into many material ventures that emptied my heart. I was so soul dry, hungry, barren, tired of the journey. And so when youtube provided me the video...I devoured like a super doooper hungry soul separated from the body base (cadaver bayot hahahhahah...todo na to...). Gross ha...
And so the line above is the freedom that i was looking for. The freedom to be in each moment - to taste, smell, feel life to the fullest. The freedom not to be lost but to be present always and not wander elsewhere.
I want to illustrate something that i realize with Disney movies. Disney produces movies that bring you somewhere far where the vast fantasy and creativity of the child is brought. It digs memories, dreams, ambitions and many more. Some things not possible in real life can be experienced as real in the realm and world of fantasy.
The world that Disney movies manifests and projects is illusive world of reality. This becomes an escape that children go to when painful realities display in front of them. And so the child is stuck somewhere in this world where from the temporary state of fun and fantasy becomes the regular world of the child. And so a child hops from one beautiful illusory world to the next and refuses to get out into the real one.
Again, the child is stuck. The physical body grows but the child is buried in fantasy. Some remain hidden and some die old in age but still in fantasy. (Sad isn't it?).
And taking our time at a slow pace..smelling reality...feeling the freedom of living the now...the present moment. There is no hiding and denying. As children may have believed and are awed with the fantasy world, we can still be with reality. We can still live now with the awe and wonder of the child's spirit in us...:-)
Beautiful isn't it?
