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.
'I was sitting on a branch.....
Waiting....
'I felt a tap on my shoulder....
'And there she was.....
beautiful.....
warm and glowing.....
waiting to embrace me.....
'She dried my tears...
in exchange of a story....
'Heard my words with love and patience....
'we held each other tight and cried....
'She offered me her lap so I could rest all my worries...
'Promised me a world full of Wonder and Glories....
'I could feel her warmth slowly turning my body into ashes...
'Opening the cage of pain for my trapped soul..
and then I felt each atom that was me...
Glow and Rise to the skies...
One with the Universe at last...
'Free... so Free...
Finally...'
