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.
"All mantras are the songs of the inner waters resounding in the space of pure consciousness. As the great Rishi Vasishtha states in the Rigveda:
'They know the origins of heaven and earth, the waters listen as they flow.' ~ Maitravaruni Vasishtha, Rigveda VII.34.2
Learn to hear the secret of the waters, which is the Nada, the unstruck sound from the core of your being. The heavenly waters chant 'Om' in their waves, while the electrical current within them forms the sound 'Im'. From these two all other letters or mantras arise. These sounds of the waters, or vibrations of space, are the basis of all sounds, verbal or non-verbal. Everything is hidden in the sound of the waters, which are both without and within. We are all the children of the waters and need to return to their universal flow."
