There IS a joy in sorrow. And a sorrow in joy. Feelings are wonderful things to have.<br /><br />And I'm going to watch that video right now!TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544217363787442756.post-87892958865340101822010-09-12T21:52:33.311-04:002010-09-12T21:52:33.311-04:00I'm reminded of the way we used to watch three...I'm reminded of the way we used to watch three dimension films in the 'fifties...with those glasses with one green lens and one red lens. Without either there was an indistinguishable blur. With just one, a picture which didn't make sense, but with both, a picture which looked real. <br /><br />I think we have something similar... a joy lens through which we see all joy, a sorrow lens through which we see all sorrow. With neither we see just a blur, and with only one a distortion. The hard part is to keep the joy lens in our eye when the sorrow lens wants to dominate everything. And, I suppose the opposite as well. Too often we put the rosy glass up, declare "we won!" and then head home. But it doesn't compensate for that by putting up the black "we lost" lens and hope that the two average out one after the other. <br /><br />Look through both simultaneously. I show this film... Amandla, in my classes--subtitled Revolution in Four Part Harmony. I was surprised to find it on YouTube in full. Look at it TheraP... you'll be so glad you did, and I think it demonstrates what I'm trying to say.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9BXqbxC9tA (I have to learn how to make urls work in comments, but cutting and pasting should.Amikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635085661287993810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544217363787442756.post-37550195643133921692010-09-12T20:57:22.729-04:002010-09-12T20:57:22.729-04:00Now that brings a tear to my eye, dear Roundish Ta...Now that brings a tear to my eye, dear Roundish Tabled one. We long for that! And even seeing it depicted... as something we'd all want. <br /><br />And it's the "kinship of heart to heart", as Alexander Solzhenitzen wrote in Cancer Ward. Even the kinship of broken hearts ... "and the way we look at the world" - that makes all the difference.<br /><br />Blessings, dear DD.TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544217363787442756.post-52434067230422663822010-09-12T20:28:41.878-04:002010-09-12T20:28:41.878-04:00Oh TheraP.
