Prince Rama and Princess Sita

While we were listening to Mitchel recount the beautiful story of Rama and Sita in training yesterday, my mind kept going back to a movie I watched and loved as a child. I knew there was a connection, but couldn't place it. As soon as I went home I googled the movie and sure enough the connection was there. In the movie, A Little Princess, the main little girl recounts her own version of Rama and Sita. It is the part when Rama leaves Sita in the jungle, in the circle that is to keep her safe. It is a sweet little part of the movie, and they show her imagination playing it out. I just wanted to share it with you, and luckily could find part of the clip on youtube. I don't know if anyone else saw this movie as a child, but it really is a great film, and it's so interesting that this story is embedded in it. Here is the link:

I hope you are all finding the light on this dreary Monday! I know I am capable of doing so by reflecting on our weekend together.
