i can't help but wonder...

 

last night we watched

Tangled

because

we are just that tired

and

it was easy to access

and occasionally

a Disney movie can be a distraction.

 

honestly

i get embarrassed at how easily i cry at any movie

so

when i watch a

movie that is meant for the under 10 set

and i am reduced to a pile of mush

well,

i just stop watching movies

mostly.

 

{sensitive much?}

 

anyhow,

last night i was impressed with myself.

the movie was a distraction but i wasn't totally immersed

because after all,

it is Disney

and I am 40 something

 and

I was having alot of fun

deconstructing

a beautiful magazine for my journal.

 

until the end.

the scene where the lost princess

is reunited with her mother and father

who haven't seen her since she was a baby

 

now,

I know that Disney is a master at manipulating emotions

and their doe eyed women are so well animated that

i can get sucked right in...

 

but it was more than that...

there was a "knowing" in the eyes of the mother

i could sense it...

{they did it well..that scene}

 

 

 she hadn't seen her child in 18 long years.

and there was an immediate connection

 

and i found myself

in tears,

briefly

 wondering

 

would it be like that?

would my birth mother look into my eyes and know that i was once hers

just that easily...

 

or is that just  the magic of Disney?
