disney's words of wisdom:01


when i was hanging out today, between my shows, we watched POCAHONTAS. (mind you... i was still on the clock for all this, so i was getting paid to watch pocahontas... haha not a bad job AT ALL i would have to say...)
but a lot of things stuck out to me that i though were SO GOOD.

this conversation:

Pocahontas: But Grandmother Willow, what is my path? How am I ever going to find it?

Grandmother Willow: Your mother asked me the very same question.

Poc: She did? What did you tell her?

GW: I told her to listen. All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the sky. If you LISTEN they will guide you.

Poc: I hear the wind.

GW: Yes. What is it telling you?

Poc: I don't understand.

GW: Que que na-to-ra
You will understand
Listen with your heart
You will understand
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand
Listen with your heart
You will understand



JUST AROUND THE RIVER BEND (love the lyrics)

What I love most about rivers is:
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing

But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend?

Waiting just around the riverbend

I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend
For me
Coming for m
e

I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend

I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for ...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend ...

Should I choose the smoothest curve
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?

mmmm i just love it...

*all around you there are spirits. if you listen they will guide you.
*listen with your heart.
*just like the river is always changing and FLOWING... so are our lives... changing and flowing.
*what's around the riverbend? coming for me...

once again, thanks disney

I totally agree with you. If you decode Disney, there are all of these magical words of wisdom. Disney definitely knew what he was doing, that's for sure. By the way, congrats on your show at the Busch Gardens. You look like you're having the time of your life. Take care! XOXO
