IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
Every Christmas hopefully we watch
one of the 25 movies that make up
the gospel of film - those movies that
move us and get us to realize, “It’s
a Wonderful Life” and life is not a
“Groundhog Day” - we don't have to
keep repeating ourselves - or “Casablanca” -
keep repeating ourselves - or “Casablanca” -
we don’t have to lose each other.

Thought for today:
“E=mc2” "[Energy equals mass of light squared.] The original statement is: If a body gives off
the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2.].”
Albert Einstein, Statement
of the
mass-energy equivalence
relationship. It can be found in
Ist die Tragheit
eines Korpers
von Seinem Engegieghalt
Abhangig? [1905]

ROLE REVERSAL
Parents and children gradually switching roles -
all so slowly - first childhood - second childhood -children becoming adults - adults becoming children - kids learning words
- adults forgetting names - diapers - Depends - learning to walk - learning how to use a walker - all right before our eyes. Parents and children - both denying these realities.

MERRY GO
ROUND
Looking back, I’ve never seen an
unhappy face on a merry-go-round.
Yet, so much of life is repeated
sounds, words, motions, illusions,
in and out of cars, the opening and
closing of doors and jars and boxes.
Looking back I’ve seen unhappy
faces in churches and on their jobs.
Maybe seeing life as a merry-go-round
might be a metaphor for having to do
life - listening
to the music, enjoying
life and seeing the circle of life together.
