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.
You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear, You are not a weight,
Or the colour of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read, And all the words you speak,
You are your croaky morning voice, And the smiles you try to hide,
You’re the sweetness in your laughter, And every tear you’ve cried,
You’re the songs you sing so loudly, When you know you’re all alone,
You’re the places that you’ve been to, And the one that you call home,
You’re the things that you believe in, And the people that you love,
You’re the photos in your bedroom,And the future you dream of,
You’re made of so much beauty, But it seems that you forgot,When you decided that you were defined,
