When You Wish Upon the Moon

Somebody - quite a lot of people - told me that the full moon has the astrologically demonstrated (?) effect of bringing things to fruition. Specifically, things that were started - wished upon - at the time of the new moon (i.e. the opposite of the full moon - the "empty" moon :)).

I am not much into astrology, although I am not dismissing it totally.

But I am very much into anything that makes people happy, and that includes the realisation of their purest, most heartfelt wishes.

Many people seem to think that the deepest secrets of our befuddled existence have to be uttered by noted philosophers, or, at the very least, by "published authors" (of books or - o tempora, o mores - noted blogs. And we're not naming any names...)

But having read and heard and seen and experienced as much I have, I have noticed that sometimes the most astonishing nuggets of true wisdom are to be found in -B films (yes, that's a B minus ), or in popular songs.

Here is one, a very simple and beloved one, from the 1940 Disney production of Pinocchio.

It is a very nice song.

But it's more than that.

There is a single line in it that contains the entire truth of all "self realisation" and "manifestation" books put together.

You'll have to find it yourself.

But finding it is only the beginning.

Iif you do not believe it is true - if you don't LIVE its truth - then all the Rhonda Byrnes of this world won't help you. You might as well stop reading all that junk - and even good books of the kind - right now.

Happy Full Moon time to all of us.
