Re: Greetings...

Writing about Harvey in my blog for today, thought I'd share it with you grey!


Morning, Love and Peace to all… 9:10am… I wonder what today has lined up for me. Watched a film last night! Harvey! Made in the 1950’s directed by Henry Koster, about a man named Elwood P Dowd.. Played by James Stewart. He is a calm, friendly, Loving mild-mannered man who believes he can see a six-foot rabbit… Sorry no, a Six foot three and a half inch tall white rabbit. Elwood asked the rabbit his name, the rabbit replied, “what is your favourite name?” To this Elwood said “Harvey” Which was answered “What a coincidence, Harvey is my name!” Haha Awesome! Anyway… Harvey is a Phooka… This actually originated down here where I live by the Celtic traditions and myths and culture. It is a myriad of fairy…. In animal form, and always… Large.

There was one in Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer nights dream.” The satyr named Puck! Funny creature, the Phooka is a good being that is said to offer advice and protect from trouble and danger, however it also likes to create its own fair share of trouble and other funny tricks. There is a saying “You can always trust a Phooka, but no one in their right mind would ever believe one…” Luckily, in this case Elwood P Dowd does… Oh and what good it did! I find this film amazingly strong in its message it seriously was marvellous! Yet an old comedy, I thought it would be funny as I am a big fan of Laurel and Hardy, but such a powerful message? That I did not expect, I really enjoyed this film and thank my sister so much for sharing it! Anyway, worth a watch FOR REALS! A film of comedy romance, if you know what I am trying to say. That era of film where I think wow.. Glamorous is this. I leave you with one of his amazing quotes:

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.” – Elwood P Dowd.
