Anna comes to the point of questioning if she even wants to move forward. She falls into despair, alone and in the dark, seeing no way forward. With this difficult truth settling in, Anna additionally faces a personal loss so great that she is overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. In the movie, the princess-sisters, Anna and Elsa, must confront the new realization that their long-revered ancestors elected, out of greed, to do what was best for the few (themselves) in the moment rather than what was best for the common good and future generations.

This was one more unexpected first - a Disney movie informing my understanding of the Buddhist concepts, outlined in the Buddha’s eightfold path, of right action and right mindfulness. I found myself surprisingly touched by the movie’s themes and their relevance to these difficult times we find ourselves in. One night in the tent, upon Lily’s urging, we ate popcorn while watching Frozen 2. Staying with just this moment, we can find our way through. The sense that the earth can hold it all has never felt more real. And I was struck how - in this time of intensified uncertainty, where the familiar has been pulled out from under our feet - feeling the solidity of the earth beneath us as we played and slept felt profoundly supportive. In our new pop-up home, we played bingo and flashlight charades while listening to the sounds of the wind and woods.
Reflecting on what else would serve us best in this time of funk, I suggested we pitch a tent in our backyard. Suffice to say, the job was botched, and green-purple-red hair doesn’t become me. She also gave my tresses their first encounter with Manic Panic vegan hair dye. I learned the word “scar wax” and made it with Lily, a budding special-effects make-up artist who can create the most frighteningly-real wounds from a mix of Vaseline and flour. Thanks to Lily, I’ve now had a number of unexpected firsts. The other week, my daughter Lily and I needed to spice up quarantine, as life was beginning to taste a bit bland.
