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.
The body can be tired,
the mind can be tired,
who you take yourself to be,
can be tired.
But Oh!
There is something in you
that can never be tired.
It can never be asleep.
It can never be wary.
It can never be afraid.
It can never be in need
of this or of that.
It is ever awake.
It is ever free.
It is ever joyous.
It is ever peaceful.
It is ever harmonious -
and never in search of anything.
It always Is --
and it is You.
If you can open your heart to it.
If you can come honest and genuine
and real.
If you can humble yourself before it -
it will hold up a divine mirror,
and help you to know yourself
through everything that perceives has lost it.
But you can never lose,
never ever lose, my Friend,
what you have always Been:
