I have a new commitment to myself. I will allow myself to cry at maudlin movies – and even over long distance commercials. If the producer is manipulating me, so be it. Sure, I’ll think twice before I act on impulse like the hero in the flick did. Yes, I’lI decide whether to change phone services based on reason, not the emotional impact of the reunited family. But I’ll let myself feel sweetness where ever I find it without asking permission from my intellect. I invite you to do the same to open yourself to tenderness of feeling.
I think of a couple of little girls who demonstrated their homemade bow and arrow. It shot no more than six inches. They took joy in their accomplishment and that joy was in no way diminished by their knowledge that “real” bows and arrows cover greater distance.
I wish I could watch movies with those two. What a heart-opener that would be.
