With the emergence of Where the Wild Things Are as a movie-I find myself tearing up everytime the trailer comes on..maybe its because the commercial does such a good job at conveying the magical thing called "hope"-something that has always been the last string that I would cling to when nothing else was left to hold in dire times..
The book came out long after I was a kid-but I remember reading it with my 'grown up eyes' and something happens to this day every time I open the cover-a smile plays across my face and my eyes turn moist as I read "We'll eat you up we love you so!"
How simple the wish of a child to simply be loved and I know that this is why the tears come every single viewing...perhaps Im especially emotional because of lump and all that it can conjure in my ever estimating brain-the wild things, for me are that internal almost adrenaline fueled warrior strength that always kicks in when I think Im ready to tap out. The Wild Things insist that I howl and demand to be given what is necessary and the wild rumpus soothes my soul...and when I go 'home'-back to reality, dinner is always waiting, and its still hot.
