Impressions 2006 - Magic
*This post is my impression for the year 2006
I had been searching for the right message for the turn of the year. It came upon me serendipitously in the way of a Christmas present, a book entitled “It’s Not Easy Being Green And Other Things to Consider” by Jim Henson, The Muppets, and Friends. I was reminded of the “Rainbow Connection”, a song I listened to frequently throughout my youth. Have you heard it recently?
It made me think about the magic of uncertainty and the possibilities therein. I don’t know what the new year holds but I am hopeful that good things will come your way.
RAINBOW CONNECTION
Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher
Originally performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson)
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbow’s are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong wait and see
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who says that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it’s probably magic
Have you been half asleep
Or have you heard voices
I’ve heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailor
The voice might be one and the same
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that I’m supposed to be
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
