I was out having my dinner less than an hour ago. As I sat down to begin with my meal, the shop’s tv had a re-run of Walt Disney’s production of “The Jungle Book”.
By the time I had almost finished my meal, the Movie was at where Baloo (the bear) and Mogwli (the “man cub”) meet their first time and start to frolick. For those who have seen this entertaining animated cartoon, this scene begins when Baloo explains to Bagheera, (the black panther) how he would be an able guardian and educate Mogwli.
Baloo the bear, philosophically sings about “The Bare Necessities of Life”
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That’s why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!
So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
‘Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
I remained seated and listened intently to the lyrics of the song. There is in it a few good pointers. It was a needed respite from all that I have been busy with, building the house for the widow and her children.
As I walked home, Baloo’s words kept ringing in my ears with regards to Project Heavenly Home.
They’ll come to you!
Just thought I’d share my lighter moment with you.
