I need Mary Poppins in my life. Not because she has the magical ability to clean her house by clicking her fingers. Not even because she has an appropriate song for every occasion or because I feel like I need a nanny. But because I think she comes to fix deep human needs; for order in a chaotic world and restored relationship with those we love. Mary Poppins in both her original and in her return, wants to teach us how to deal with a world that is less than perfect. She allows us to recognise just how broken our world and ourselves are, and she gives us wisdom to mend them by offering a vision of what life should and could be like. “The Place Where Lost Things Go”, sung to comfort the child
