Peter Pan


Today I watched "Finding Neverland", fortunately my girl friend had gone out and she missed the inevitable tears of joy and sadness that this film causes. If you haven't seen it, its a story about JM Barrie (creator of Peter Pan) and how he came up with the idea. I have no idea of how true to life the story is or not,(and I don't care) the fact is for me this film highlights several things, its a reminder not to forget our inner child, that life is short, and if you are creative to keep going until you find the environment that allows you to best flourish and grow those talents and dreams, in the film he had the support of the wealthy Theater owner and needed a chance meeting with a family to give him the inspiration that led to the writing of Peter Pan. All too often we fear sharing our early ideas of poems, business ideas, songs, paintings, films, games etc in case people don't like them or we get a bad reaction, well that may happen but somewhere like Barrie you will find the people who will help you grow.

Like in the film life consistently presents itself with opportunities to enable us to make our dreams come true, we just need to open our eyes and bee aware of them.

When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.
