Dumbo & the Magic Feather - part II
"To sit back and let fate play its hand out and never influence it is not the way man was meant to operate." - John Glenn
I received a lot of comments on the recent post regarding Dumbo and the "Magic Feather." It seems nearly everyone is familiar with the baby midget mastodon with the big ears.....make that HUGE ears.
Often times just for kicks I imagine how the Dumbo story would be told in today's politically correct world.
No Circus - that would be insulting to the animals.
No Mouse scaring the elephants. Why does the mouse have to be the bad guy?
No clowns acting laughing after they perform. Just because they're clowns doesn't mean that they can't be sophisticated.
No Crows picking on Dumbo. It's just plain wrong to single out any winged creature as being part of a "gang" (flock). Why couldn't a dolphin teach the elephant to fly? Umm, ok.
Anyhow, moving right along.
My point for continuing the saga of Dumbo is this - Dumbo's confidence came from having the "Magic Feather", right?
Or did it?
The hallucination in my mind at this very moment is that the power given to Dumbo, came from Dumbo himself, not the feather.
You know that already because you're reading this and members of the Performance Zone are at a level above the crowd.
So why am I bringing this up? Because it's worth saying.
Even when we "know" that we have the power, that we have the capabilities we look for an outside source. We look for that sign or for something we can hold onto.
Or perhaps we want to hear something from someone else, to validate our confidence.
Maybe it's that you want to hold onto something that makes you feel like you're on the right path.
Whatever it is, you have it in you.
Do you need it? No
Can you use it? Yes.
