Elton John’s lyrics to “Can you Feel the Love Tonight,” reminds me of the scene when Rafaki hits Simba on the head because he has forgotten his origin story.
Slowly read the quotations below and think about what you have forgotten.
“Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things”
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things”
Rafaki: Look down there.
[Slowly Simba walks to the edge of the watering hole and peers inside. His reflection stares back at him]
Adult Simba: That’s not my father. That’s just my reflection.
Rafiki: No. Look harder.
[Rafiki touches the water which causes waves that change Simba’s reflection into Mufasa]
Rafiki: You see? He lives in you.
Mufasa’s Ghost: [From above] Simba.
Adult Simba: Father?
Mufasa’s Ghost: [He appears in the sky as a group of stars] Simba, you have forgotten me.
Adult Simba: No. How could I?
Mufasa’s Ghost: You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of life.
Adult Simba: How can I go back? I’m not who I used to be.
Mufasa’s Ghost: [Now fully formed in the sky] Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are.
Adult Simba: [Mufasa’s ghost begins to disappear] No! Please! Don’t leave me!
Mufasa’s Ghost: Remember.
Adult Simba: Father!
Mufasa’s Ghost: Remember.

Do we remember our unconditional love origin?
Do we wish to recall that special
connection with our creator? It may seem as difficult as Simba’s
journey, but the journey always brings us back to the moment of
creation.
Fiona, the ogre, from “Shrek,” finally demonstrate who she really is and receives true loves kiss that does not turn her into a beauty, but allows her to accept herself as she is.
In the transformation scene, see link below, Fiona remains an ogre. Brilliant light shines through her entire body, she is lifted off the ground, spun around and falls to the floor.
“I was supposed to be beautiful,” she cries aloud.
