One of my favorite (totally obscure) movies is The Bumblebee Flies Anyway. I came across it in some rental store when I was looking for something else and decided to give a chance. I completely fell in love with it. Its about a boy who wakes up in a hospital, knowing only his name & having a vague memory of a car crash. As time progresses he struggles to piece together his past, only to reach the moment of truth when he must make a decision between science and hope.
The movie is based on an old urban legend that, based on weight ratios to wing power and wind resistance, the bumblebee should be aerodynamically incapable of flight — yet, the theory says, the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it flies anyway.
Today I was thinking about obstacles. All the things real or imagined that stand in the way of making a change. We all have rules and beliefs to which we adhere. Some of these rules and beliefs are anchored in solid fact while others are the result of real or perceived danger. But what if we didn't know the "facts"? What if we ignored the fear of the unknown? What if we "forgot" everything that says "Its impossible"? What if we just tried something believing that we could not fail?
