After watching Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns and the Original The multitude of the spiritual messages are apparent and i can see how my people are using them to lift me up on during this period of big change in my life. Friday while driving home I passed the large park I live by and I saw a remote control airplane flying in the sky. I hear and see an image of a kite int he sky and think about how I don’t do the simple fun things with the kids. I find it hard to wind down to that much of a relaxed, be in the moment state.
Later that evening sure enough on my iTunes Mary Poppins Return pops up and of course we have have to watch it-on a school night…… It wasn’t until the end of the movie during the song nowhere to go but up when they play the melody of Let’s Go Fly a Kite comes on briefly that I remembered seeing the kite in my head and my people telling me I need to connect with the simple things again and find Joy. Topsy Turvy is my daughters favorite and is so relevant to my life right now as I retire and start a new life.
This morning I was listening to the soundtrack dropping the kids off and after yoga the song Nowhere to go but up pops on. Which strikes me because of the fear and doubt I am experiencing starting the Medium Practice, I have to fight back the fear of failure. It is my nemesis. I make a left turn when I meant to go straight and down the street I pass the bicycle shop who’s windows were decorated in red paper airplanes. I nod and say thanks guys in my head as I drive by.
The connection to our childhood, who we were when we knew the simple joy of things. I grew up and in so many ways became an adult I am so sad about that because I remember hearing don’t lose this, don’t lose your happy but, I did lose my happy and it is quite the fight and effort to get it back. I am reframing my perspective on all the negative things in my life and seeing it in the value it added to my experience with the help of Spirit.
