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.
"Latest Covid joke"
*I went for a walk with my new girlfriend and we saw dogs mating . She said : How does the male know when the female is ready for sex ?*
*I replied : He can smell she is ready . That is how nature works .*
*We then walked past a sheep field and the ram was mating the ewe . Again my girlfriend asked : How the ram knew when the ewe was ready for sex ?*
*I replied : It’s nature . He can smell she is ready.*
*We then went past a cow-field and the bull was mating the cow .*
*My girlfriend said : This is odd . They are all at it . Surely the bull can’t smell when she is ready .*
*I said : Look , it’s nature . All animals can smell when the female is ready for sex .*
*Anyway and after the walk , I dropped her home and kissed her goodbye . She said : Take care and get yourself checked for Covid-19 .*
*Surprised , I asked her : Why do you feel that way ?*
*She said : I think you seem to have lost your sense of smell ...*
