ROMANCING THE CANVAS: I AM FEELING SO FANTASTIC....

.....about all the friendly, helpful, awesome, generous people in this world!

seguay: CINEMA SATURDAY'S CHALLENGE IS THE MOVIE AUSTRALIA

I've chosen to focus on most of the themes in the movie and bring it into "today's" current events, to take the elements that are present in the movie but look at the political climate, social climate and emotional climate in the global world today and offer up that they line up with what the movie Australia is all about -

VALUES, MORALS AND PRINCIPLES and RIGHT ACTION

[BACK TO ALL THE GENEROUS, AWESOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD...] In the last few days I feel as if they have all gathered in my small little spec on this earth and said "here I am!" From the Purolator Man (ahhhh stamping supplies) to my sump pump man (ugh, too much rain), to the Toshiba operator who just helped me with some screwy settings I put on my 'puter! It feels like the world just got a hit of "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands..." right after getting a hit of just the opposite! That ol' whipper snapper suffering/love metaphor again!

Are you experiencing this? Is the moon in the right place, are the stars lined up, has all the rain and all the snow [or all the sunshine] washed away the dulldrums? Or are we just feeling the larger community gratitude that is making it's way from country to country, city to city, door to door, room to room and person to person, as a consequence of the earthquake in Haiti. Have all the brothers and the sisters shown themselves? Are we really becoming a neighbourhood rather than JUST a world?

It has been awesome to watch the TV and see positive, up the spiral, nice, kind, helpful, encouraging and hopeful...to witness strength, abundance, resilance, determination, perseverance, and the comments about what a wonderful world we live in...to see people rise up and stand for something, AND to see people of all facets of life become ONE, and put down their swords in pursuit of the same goal - TO STAND UP FOR LOVE!

I think God has been up-ta-good again....whatcha think? It can almost make you forget there ever was a time when it was hard...
