Comedies That Heal

Smile, today is inauguration day, the 20th of January 2009, a day of change for all of us.  We are going to grow!

Today the United States transitions from the Bush era with it’s journey to “the dark side” to a time of “hope” with Barack Obama guiding us through change and towards a renewed unity between all folk.

Most of the world’s people are enjoying a sense of optimism with this change in the U.S.A. but some are not. Some will be nursing a regret as they witness the demise of an administration that represented a culture of entitlement and consumption.

It seems that a version of the American Dream is coming to an end, the version that encourages us to believe that the earth’s resources are everlasting and for us to use like the equity in our homes.

Over the coming years all of us will have to rethink our priorities and sort out our needs and our wants.

For some this will be a bitter task.

For all of you, who will shed a tear, rend your garments, and gnash your teeth at having to reduce, reuse, and recycle, I am pleased to offer the above item from a prior era.  An era perhaps similar to our own when our forbears had to tighten their belts and dig deep into their character: the great depression.

This familiar tune, sung here by Nat King Cole, was written by the comic genius, Charlie Chaplin with words by Turner and Parsons.

My hope today, is for all of those inclined to gloom on this occasion.  May this song inspire you to cheer up, like it must have for your own parents, grandparents, or great grandparents during their years of challenge and change.
