A Tribute to Pooh …
Part 01 : Tigger ’ s Truth ( 01 / 18 / 2015 )
A . A . Milne , the creator of Winnie the Pooh and all his friends , was born 133 years ago today . In honor of what I consider to be his great achievement , the first tribute thereto relates to one of my favorite Pooh companions -- Tigger …
I loved Tigger because he was silly and I loved Tigger because he was carefree and I loved Tigger because he was ― fun fun fun fun fun ‖ ... and yet what I love most about Tigger these days is his naiveté ; the fact that he so wanted to be selfless and yet so rarely was -- the fact that he really did believe that he was ― the only one ‖, and thereby completely missed the fact that he was actually an interconnected facet of the entire Winnie the Pooh gang -- the fact that , just like so many of us , his self-centered drive to be loved often kept him not only from being Kind to others , but also from appreciating the Love he was already being given .
― Well , I gotta go now . I ' ve got a lotta bouncin ' to do ! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo ! T-T-F-N … Ta-Ta For Now !‖ ~ Tigger
