Feelings of the Iron Man
Somewhere, along the way, in life, a person may become sad and lose feelings. The tin man is supposed to be an intelligent person. He was searching for a heart and feelings. "Oz never gave anything to the tin man that he already didn't have." When iron is in the fire, it changes from white to orange, orange to red, red to blue to black and so on. I have a figure of the iron man on the table and I can leave him on the edge. Suppose the iron man was on the edge of a cliff. The iron man fell. His iron legs are off. His arms are off, his eye and his head are off. All the separate pieces tumbled, crashing. A seagull picks up the eye and puts it in the hand. With magnetic power, parts of the iron man may come back together. The iron man fell into a pit, but shook the earth. A scarecrow is supposed to be a person with a heart and he is searching for a brain. Our mind can be filled with straw, or maybe with too much paper and certificates. Not all the certificates in the world can fulfil the need for communication, peace and love. A person can be a tin man or a scarecrow but when one tries to heal painful memories, one has to bring the head and the heart together. I wish that life was like the iron man so that we can put back broken pieces together. Every person can then be put together again, especially people who are old and ill. The Yellow Submarine is a wonderful movie about feelings, The Beatles and people.
