Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
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.
Let’s make use of Stay at home, self isolation, self quarantine :-
These are much more easy and much more peaceful for those who are meditators.
Such situation can be best utilised to spend more time with our own selves which is very blissful. Now the time to search your own inner jungle which has much more to learn or seek than in outside world. This is the best time for us to do- daily morning exercise, work from home at our own convenience, plenty of rest healthy home cooked food and rest of the time socialise with our “Inner Being” where is the time left for being panic, sad, depressed, seeking for outside company? Let’s see opportunity in calamity and grow.
- Namastey! 🙏
