Wisdom doesn't always manifest as a shiny pearl. The following practical "pellets" are dropped from my book JAILBIRD ---
🐦 BB:
"Respect who I am instead of trying to make me into your image. Is that too much to ask...?"
🐦 BB:
"I don't let anything ruffle my feathers. Take a good look. Are my feathers ruffled?"
🐦 BB:
"Harmony. Oh sweet harmony. Such a lovely word, such a wonderful thing..."
🙇 BOB WHITE (BB's Human Cellmate):
"I bet this BB character is nothing but a figment of my imagination. I'm just seeing a metaphor - a symbol - of myself. I am the caged bird. That makes sense."
🔰 NARRATOR:
"Funny how a particular phrase, or even a single word, can seem to glow with special significance."
🔰 NARRATOR:
"This is an unprecedented step for BB. But then again, he finds himself in an unprecedented circumstance."
🐦 HARMONY (BB's Bird-Boo):
"You know, I have heard that 'the rough is only mental.' "
"...as challenging as life can be, it's really all in how we think about it."
"If you think you can overcome anything, you can. And you will."
"We make things harder on ourselves by negative thinking."
🎶 BB's POSITIVE DITTY:
"Whatever may come,
Whatever the weather,
I will let NOTHING
Ruffle my feathers."
🔰 NARRATOR:
"In a flash BB sees it. His mother, in teaching him the positive rhyme, was referring to more than rain and storms in nature. She was trying to show him the importance of remaining unruffled and unfazed through any 'stormy' situation."
🔰 NARRATOR:
"...BB is left to wrestle with the ultimate enemy: his own negative thoughts and emotions."
🔰 NARRATOR:
"It's truly amazing what one positive memory can do."
