I think of the story Peter Pan by James Michael Barrie. Pan in Greek means all or whole. Pan loses his shadow and is frantic...because we can not live without our dark side...it gives us balance. Tinker Bell finds it in a drawer and gives it to him. Pan sits on Wendy's bed and tries to attach his shadow but he fails and he is crying. Wendy awakens and ask "Boy, why are you crying" (just as Jesus said to Mary Magdalene "Woman, why are you crying") and he tells her of his plight and she sews it on for him. Pan lives on the Island of Lost Boys and he is a leader. He gets into a fight with Hook! and while they are fighting, Pan notices that he is on a rock above Hook thus giving him an advantage over Hook. Being the kind boy he is, he offers Hook a hand up to they are on the same playing field, but Hook bites him. Pan is struck by Hook's unfairness...and knows one never forgets that first lesson..... Gee...I do not know how I got off into all that...except that Pan, like the Christ figure is all or whole and was wounded for generosity. I better get off this tack. :) Peace........Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > <<I have a question for you Bob...and anyone else...what do you think Passion Play >is about?>> > > Since I'm running out of time, I'll give you the 'nickel' answer instead of the $5 >one... > > All of the song relates to the life of Jesus Christ and his humanity & compassion to >those who were oppressed...the confusion settles in around her use of "Exxon Blue & >radiation Rose"...given that, I think Joni is trying to say that true compassion or >spirit can grant freedom to those 'slaves' who are oppressed. > > More later, maybe...it's one of my favorite songs to discuss. > > Bob > > NP: Sugarloaf, "Spaceship Earth"
