DID YOU SEE THE MOVIE YET. . .
It really doesn’t matter. . .
I think it should be mandatory. . .
It really doesn’t matter. . .
The reason I am sharing the clip is because
of the SPONTANEOUS REACTION
that Hugh Jackman and the Cast had
when the song,
F R O M N O W O N
over took them. . .
THEY HAD NO CONTROL;
Q U I C K:
what reaction did you have seeing this?
Don’t watch it again. . .
What is your REACTION:
Mine?
It took me to a Wednesday Night
A funeral home
5 year old boy
allegedly killed by his mother
buried in his backyard
private service
family minister not comfortable doing the service
a small group of people
wanting an answer to the questions of
W H Y
W H A T F O R
H O W C O M E
I answered by asking a question:
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE STORY
Several were told
T E A R S
L A U G H T E R
S I L E N C E
A STANDING OVATION
for a boy who could only speak 3-4 words. . .
for a boy who probably never heard a
‘That’a boy’
. . .I was in the car riding home
and I heard this song
FROM NOW ON
from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
and when it got to the part of:
FROM   NOW   ON
THESE   EYES   WILL   NOT   BE   BLINDED   BY   THE   LIGHTS
FROM   NOW   ON
WHAT’S   WAITED   FOR   TOMORROW   STARTS
TONIGHT
LET   THIS   PROMISE   IN   ME   START
LIKE   AN   ANTHEM   IN   MY   HEART
FROM   NOW   ON
FROM   NOW   ON
I began to weep
but when it got to:
AND   WE   WILL   COME   BACK   HOME
AND   WE   WILL   COME   BACK   HOME
H   O   M   E         A   G   A   I   N
I pulled the car over and
sobbed
shook
shuddered
and I cried for this young boy
I cried for past funerals conducted
I cried for current patients and their families
I cried for past hurts
I cried for lost opportunities
I cried for Erin
I cried for my children
I cried for grandchildren
I cried for friends hurts and disappointments
I C R I E D
and healed
. . .music does that
S P O N T A N E O U S L Y
Y O U ?
I shared the video with a colleague of mine
and we both cried. . .
She had not seen the movie
but told me the clip took her to her mother’s bedside
who had just recently died. . .
I told her of the young boy. . .
I’m interested. . .
what did the spontaneity
spontaneously bring out in
Y O U ?
Did it open a door
that’s been safely locked
maybe even hidden
never knocked on
peeked behind
noticed. . .
what KEY
opens THAT door
for you?
