My Wild Thing

I still haven’t seen the movie yet, but already the story has captivated me.  “Where the Wild Things Are.”  I’ve seen the preview a hundred times now, and the images keep filling my head reminding me who I am.  For the last four or five months I’ve been trying desperately to grow up.  Its been painful.  There have been tears.  Its been a tearing of me.  And then the beautiful images of this film showed me what the problem was:

I’m not supposed to grow up.

I’m supposed to stay a kid.  That is where fun is.  That is where creativity is; freedom.  Like the words of the theme song, “Our bodies grow up, but our hearts get torn up.”

I’m looking forward to taking the journey to “Where the Wild Things Are,” and finding the kid in me again.

If you haven’t heard it, take five minutes and enjoy the song “Wake Up.”
