So, I am, as I have told you, about to finish my Master's degree, and yet last night I found myself enjoying the show at Disney on Ice. I realize that technically I may be a little too old for Disney, but I can't help it. I feel such a deep connection to the stories and songs I cherished as a child. I won't lie....I still have a few soundtracks in my car and I own an extensive collection of limited edition dvds....
Anyway, as I sat there last night watching the skating princesses, I couldn't help but consider the premise of almost every fairytale: love. In Beauty and the Beast they sing "Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme..." This really struck me as I watched each girl find her prince charming....in so many ways, God put us here for companionship. He designed one man and one woman to complete each other. This simple thought in an even simpler presentation stuck with me as I imagined all the maidens and men across the world and across time that have fallen in love. Two hearts that are finally made complete.
I know that's a bit sappy, but--as I am one such girl in love--I feel connected to this great cycle of boy meets girl....I think we should give Disney more credit in honoring love the way they have done time and time again.
