The Lion

.

Oh but for the courage! Some days I feel like I’m The Lion. Not from Narnia, but from Oz. So please. Dare me. Dare me to move.

I sure could do with the push.

    You do have the courage, dear. It’s the impetus that’s tough. But once the ball starts rolling, you’ll be hard-pressed to stop…

    And what will you feed me in the Lion City? What magic will you weave over me? How will you wrap Courage around my heart? Are you the Great Wizard Oz or Merlin or Merlion? LOL

    NB. The Merlion joke will, of course, only be understood by folks familiar with the Singaporean mascot…

    Maybe chilli crab might do some good in restoring the vigour?
    No magic is needed.

    Food will do you good. It’s all natural and no hokey pokey.

    The cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz was always looking for Courage. When he found it he shouted it from one end of Oz to the next… erm.. you need to get up on high ground and shout .. “i will, i can, i shall !!!” .. lol… can?!

    Push-pull in economics?

    We have push-pull in architecture too! We “push-pull” the walls in our design so that they aren’t square anymore. Haha..

    Chili crab for courage? That sounds like my kinda tonic for courage alright! ;)

    Kenny - I thought it was your own drawing. I’m pretty sure you’d be a pretty good illustration … that’ll get you going with courage! :)

    takes great roaring courage to say that

    Sure love that illustration. Something similar I saw in a German children’s book is that of a scaredy St Bernard whose courageous friend is a mouse.

    How is your cartooning and illustrating, Kenny? I want to write about the adventures of Ice Mouse and Small Duck.

    The adventures of Ice Mouse and Small Duck? I’ve to confess I’ve never heard of this brave pair. I’m prolly better at illustrating than cartooning though I’m game to try new things. :)

    My favourite illustrator is Edward Gorey… Read any of his stuff (He’s a writer too.)

    Kenny,

    Don’t worry. Whatever you wish to do, just do it. There’s no need to think too much. All you need is courage and believe in yourself. All the best to you…

    I just ordered two books by E Gorey from Book Depository (free delivery to CH). Nice illustrations, reminiscent of Quentin Blake, one of my fav illustrators.
    Of course, you haven’t heard of Ice Mouse and Small Duck. My O.H. and I created them. Well, the real Small Duck you’ve seen in one of my old posts last year. ice Mouse is the one we blame for things that go missing in the fridge!

    ∙ Kenny Mah ∙

    » argussimo
    Ah it’s meant to be! Fancy me mentioning Mr. Gorey and your having just ordered two of his books. I adore Mr. Blake too. I love the idea of the Ice Mouse being responsible for Missing Things From the Fridge! :D
