On a completely different note from my previous post, this remixed PBS video of Mr Rogers is stunningly beautiful and touching.
According to The Wrap, PBS reached out to mashup video artist John D Boswell, who created the Symphony of Science series - and who happened to be a Mr Rogers fan.
Boswell created something beautiful and unique (which Mr Rogers was, for sure) - and the line, "Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?" is just totally inspiring and uplifting, as is this whole video.
What a delightful chance to visit The Neighborhood again! I discovered Mr. Rogers with my niece in 1973, and then grew to really appreciate his kindness and quiet demeanor with my own daughter in the early 1980's. Boswell has done us an honor as he's recaptured Mr. Rogers' gentle spirit. Let's all remember his critical message to children and families about the power of imagination.
