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.
In this world, all say,
I love you!
So, I will share all of mine with you.
But, for you, I see…
You share your moments with me,
All your gains and losses.
You share your preferences with me,
All your choices and not.
You share your emotions with me,
All your joys and pains.
But still, you don't love me,
But, I don't regret it,
Nights and days we stayed together,
You taught me a lot,
I loved you, still, I do so, and forever.
Just want to be your friend for a lifetime,
The freedom you gifted me, I cherish,
Yet, it hurt me as sharp as a knife,
But, I love everything of yours,
And your presents, may it be a rose or a knife.
Pains I felt, but now they are memories,
My love tried to be yours but never died.
Solitary as a bird it will stay,
But, never, it will decay. ♥
