Mary Poppins, who are you? Are you a fairy tale riding your umbrella down to the children who need you most? Are you a teacher and an inventor, inspiring us to see more than we otherwise might? Or are you a side of each of us, that part that says laugh a little louder, dream a little more, and love all you can?
silly to wonder about Mary, isn't it? It's a silly movie, full of somewhat annoying songs about chimneys and terrible dance numbers. and yet, it's also a subtle explanation of how we might live, giving what we have instead of hording it away, finding fun in every possible job, and not being afraid of those who tell us not to be happy.
or maybe i dont know anything about that. but i know it made me laugh a whole lot more than i expected, and that's always a good thing. and it makes me wonder what sort of lessons we give to our children, and when we start giving them other lessons. when do we tell them to stop believing all those wonderful fairy tales and tell them they have to buy their way in the world, they have to accumulate all the money and possessions they can or else they lose the game? well, i guess i'll just have to teach them myself, won't i?
