In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
*A Baba* was *sitting* on the *bank of the river,* Someone asked
*"what are you doing Baba?"*
*Baba said:* I am waiting for the *whole river to flow*, then *I will cross it.*
* That *person said,*
′′ Baba, you *will never* be able *to cross* the river *while waiting* for the *whole water to flow*.That *can't happen !*
* Baba said, this is what *I want to explain* to you : *people who always say* that once *the responsibilities of life are fulfilled* that I *will have fun.*
*Have fun, roam around, meet everyone , be happy and spread happiness !.*
Just like the water of *the river will never end,* the *responsibilities of life never end.*
