Thanks+Giving | Fraggle Rock | Jim Henson

I am thankful for many many people and things I have in my life..
Family + Friends + Acquaintances

+ The tech tools that I have available to me to express my gratitude. Computer + Internet

For some reason
Fraggle Rock jumped into my mind today

Watching Fraggle Rock made a huge impression in my life as a child. I guess a whole lot of the messages that Jim and his crew were sending are part of my unconscious now

I read somewhere that Jim said Fraggle Rock was his greatest creation above all others because of the vast amount of issues the show dealt with and the depth they were able to go with them because of the fantasy world that was on top of the issues

Fraggle Rock used fantasy creatures as an allegory to deal with serious issues such as prejudice, spirituality, personal identity, environment, and social conflict.

The scenarios and stories became a part of me and I am thankful for Jim and the creators of this show giving me a part of their positive and inspiring spirit.

I continue to create and drive forward in my life with their spirit as part of my drive. Hoping that I can build something positively influential, even if its just a fraction of what they were able to bring to the world
I would be happy.

So today a special gift to you all and tribute to
Jim Henson his team and their creations

Happy Thanksgiving
+ I give with thanks to you and them
