Day 24 - Nonsensical Seussical!

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
― Dr. Seuss

In my mind, Dr. Seuss is a god!  No, not god with a "capital-G"...but a "god" who is human who was an uber super-caliberific amazing story-telling genius who has touched the hearts of millions!

His stories have such powerful messages!

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
― Dr. Seuss

“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
―
Dr. Seuss

“Think left and think right and think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!” ― Dr. Seuss

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact.
And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed)
Kid, you'll move mountains.”
―
Dr. Seuss

“Just tell yourself, Duckie, your real quite lucky.”
―
Dr. Seuss

“Today you are You, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
―
Dr. Seuss

And, every time I read my children his stories (which is often), we are taken to a world filled with imagination, life lessons, fascination, inspiration, and tongue twisters!

Which I suppose makes sense, since Dr. Seuss once said...

“In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!”

And, while I am not sure that I would ever want to live in that world...I am sure glad that he did!

Who is one of your (lower-case g) gods?
