No, silly rabbit! Not at the same time!
A week ago, it was that Man of La Mancha, with his faithful supporter, Pancho, galloping along on stage. For this God on Broadway performance-service, Jonathan Rabb lent his rich voice to Don Quixote.
It truly was all about dreaming "The Impossible Dream"! A world where we are willing to "march into hell for a heavenly cause", a world where we see ourselves as able to make a difference. I cannot stress how vital that is, even if only on a local scale to the lives of those around us.
Sing it, man!
And let us not forget about his sidekick, Pancho. While there is no doubt that Don Quixote and Jesus were two men on a quest, where would they have been without staunch believers in their cause? So much focus is placed on the leaders and not enough on those who help carry the message and to accomplish the goal, even if they are made to feel foolish by following the dreamer.
We would do well to remember that missions do not accomplish themselves. A leader is simply one who is able to voice what others dream, thereby letting them know they are not alone, helping them unite with others who believe as they do.
How very important!
Today, the message was brought by an ogre, a huge green mythical beast. Specifically, Shrek was there to show that even strong people - or strong monsters - have weak points that can be bolstered through relationships with others.
Building a wall is not the answer.
Instead, "do the Pablo"! In other words, roll over like a dog does to show it means no harm, reveal your weaker side.
Allow others to be strong for you.
Again, very important.
Thanks, Billy, for creatively sharing these messages of hope.
Thanks, Billy, for sharing your softer side.
