 The lines at the movie theater was non-existent in Daegu South Korea last night as I decided to take an early break from my novel that I am penning this month to see "This Is It". With both feet I have jumped into the NaNoWriMo event, to write about South Korea...with my efforts tentatively titled, "An Appearance of Glass".
For those of you who have never been to Korea, when you buy a ticket, you actually get an assigned seat, Row and seat number, as if you were going to a live event. As soon as I walked in, the sensor was tripped and the previews and commercials started. Automated to such a point that I felt "Big Brother" breathing on my neck.
For the moment I was alone...alone with a man who evolved into an icon...even before he became a man. A sparse audience as I had hoped to see what kind of audience would come...to witness with me the rehearsals for a show that was to never be. What I noted as the three others came in was silence. In a way, the celebration of a life had been taken out of the movie. I found myself watching with care every detail. I noted that all of the performers were obscure fans that knew every detail of Michael Jackson's catalogue. It was their chance to shine, and now, they are shining far more than they ever intended.
Michael Jackson made a curious statement, "We have just four years to get it right." We all know he was referring to the December 21, 2012 prophecies...but I think he was focusing on our global environment. Where I believe he got it right was with "Man in the Mirror" and his comments about not seeking to have the governments fix our problems.
We have to be the source of the changes...no matter where you seek improvement. In our history, one thing to be mindful of, is whenever we seek someone to save us, we actual wind up with someone who enslaves us. We have to save ourselves. We have to be our own messiahs and realize the power all have to be creative gods...and godesses. No one should give that power away to anyone else...but are we so weak minded to think that it is impossible?
Michael Jackson, was one man...there are many "one and onlys" in this world...and it starts "with the man in the mirror"....that was his message going out the door. Yes, I watched, and at times, when he held back in his rehearsals...to save his voice, I was struck by the fact that he forgot no one was promised tomorrow.
Life is a daily event...NOW.
