Lion King :)

My favorite cheetah :)
Third row, beezy.
I didn't expect to learn something from a play based on a disney movie that I used to always watch. But oh how everything is possible. Yes, I was able to make this into a spiritual experience. But only in the second half. The part that struck me the most was when Simba was feeling completely lost and started crying to mufasa. But of course when he said father, I took it as a different father. 'Father, I feel so alone You promised you'd be there Whenever I needed you Whenever I call your name You're not anywhere' I guess I can relate. That feeling that you are completely alone and that God is ignoring you. But I know it isn't true. He allows us to go through stuff, but we're never alone. And later pointed out 'He lives in you. He lives in me. He watches over.' Simba had forgotten who he was and that had made him forget his Father. And that seems to make sense in my head. We need to remember who we are and who our Father, the king, is. Yes, I know I sound like a bad seminary lesson, but it stood out to me so much. We need to remember who we are and the rest will be take care of. And sometimes the past hurts, but we can either dwell on it or learn from it. I'm going to learn from it. 
And for now it's going to be Hakuna Matata. 'It means no worriesss' ;)
