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 my end is my beginning:
I have come home again.
I move forward, carried by this lightness. And understand that it is the beginning, the very beginning of the path to be lived.
A path which for me is interwoven with exchanges between the narrow human condition
and the vast, luminous sky…
I have just arrived back home.
Tomorrow, or in a short while maybe, I will have
lost it again. Or it will have changed, new each time
encountered and yet unchanging… without bearings, I
will move forward guided by silence, this silence that
manifests through its presence, through its absence.
