It’s the last scene from the movie and it’s packed with wisdom, emotion and lots of life lessons
. . .ALL WHICH MEAN NOTHING
unless they are not so much
SEEN
HEARD
or even EXPERIENCED
so much as intimately and intentionally
A P P L I E D
(c o n t i n u o u s l y)
The quick synopsis
will tell you the
movie is about
College sweethearts Will and Abby who fall in love, get married and prepare to bring their first child into the world. As their story unfolds in New York, fate links them to a group of people in Seville, Spain, including a troubled young woman, a man and his granddaughter, a wealthy landowner and a plantation manager.
and yes,
EVEN US. . .
It’s more than about
Love and Loss
Grief
Relationships
Winning and Losing
Coming’s and Going’s
so much as how
we are more
i n t e r c o n n e c t e d
than we
realize
recognize
acknowledge
but ever proving
IT’S NOT SO MUCH AS SMALL WORLD
AS A BIG LIVING ROOM
and my thread
or your thread
are a part of the of the a
T A P E S T R Y
we each belong. . .
WE ARE CHAPTERS
in the Book
that just doesn’t merely tell our Story
but allows it to be experienced
by those
not yet here
sharing that
LIFE ITSELF
is the only
ALL
there is and ever
will be. . .
The Unreliable Critic
No pun
i n t e n d e d. . .
but this is a pretty
R E F L E C T I V E
piece, huh?
Is it true. . . ?
Are we our worst Critics?
Are we Reliable Critics?
What do you see bad in yourself
that others can’t see nothing but good in you?
Maybe out of all the questions that might be bouncing around
from your head to heart to the deepest part of your soul
this is the one that matters the most:
WHEN YOU STAND IN FRONT OF A MIRROR
DO YOU SEE MORE OF WHAT REALLY ISN’T THERE
OR MORE OF WHAT IS?
Are you a reliable critic. . . ?
Do you ever really
k n o w
what another truly
s e e s
Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst:
Look Again
The movie in your mind
may never make it to the
BIG SCREEN
LOOK
A G A I N
The ticket you’ve paid full admission
is never really a shadow
of the
MAIN
ATTRACTION
you are. . . .
