Rainbow Connection

It was 1979. It is my first memory of a movie theater. And… it was love at first sight. Ok, so he was green, sitting on a log, playing a banjo. (Though now that I am older and wiser… the sitting on a log and playing a banjo bit is a little more appealing, and really, it's not easy bein green.) I did not know it then, but it was also my first memory of a magickal lesson.
Have you ever heard The Call? An instinct that you must do something in your life, though it may make no rational sense. I have heard it, though I am only just starting to understand it. None the less, I have heard it my entire life. And the first time I recognized it was as a child, in 1979, at a movie theater, absorbing the following inspiration.

The Rainbow Connection
As performed by Kermit the Frog

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told, and some choose to believe it.
I know their wrong, wait and see.
For someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection.
The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
If wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of it
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing, that keeps us star gazing,
And what do we think we might see?
For someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me.
All of us under it’s spell, we know that it’s probably magic.
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is it the sweet song that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it.
It’s something that I am supposed to be.
And someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me.
