Make believe that your world went silent for a day.
What would you do with the peace and quiet?

Make believe that you could write a poem. What are the things you’d want to say?

Make believe that someone said ”Go ahead, do what your heart desires.”
Just what would your heart desire?

What are the things that you would like to see go on forever and ever?

Make believe that you could see deeply into your heart. What do you expect you might find?

Late at night you turn on the radio and hear a rap song that YOU have written. It dominates the air waves and reflects your deepest thoughts, your obsessions, your anger, your joy, your special view of the world. Everyone is mouthing the words to your song. Here is how it goes:

Everybody, no matter how young and strong and vibrant each one is today, will have obituaries someday, too, writes columnist Peggy Noonan in the Oct. 3 Wall Street Journal (”Keeping America Safe From the Ranters”).

”Their careers will be captured in eulogies, leaving their children proud, or not. In a way you’re writing your own obit every day. You’re making the lead paragraph positive and constructive, or not.”

She continues: ”Someone’s going to sum you up one day. You want to live your professional life in a way that they can write good things.”

While she is focusing on people’s professional lives, one could also say this applies to our personal lives, too. So, what about you? If you had to write your obituary today and summarize your life, would you find a lot of positive things to write about — or would you find something else? What kind of life, whether professional or person, do you want to lead?

When I was a kid, Saturday was movie day. My mother would give my brother and me lunch bags full of sandwiches and fruit and money to get into the matinee and we’d spend hours there. Sometimes at the end of the matinee we would hide in the bathroom until the early evening show would begin so that we could see a whole new set of movies without having to pay again. I loved the darkness of the theatre and the new worlds the movies would take me to. Those were some of the happiest afternoons of my life.
Even today my wife and I take sandwiches to the movies on weekends and have the greatest of times sitting in the dark, watching, living, enjoying, learning, laughing, crying from what we see.
What about you? How important are movies to you? Do you have some favorites or ones which had a big effect on you and changed you and the way you see the world?

Make believe that you had a net to catch a favorite moment in your life.  Which would it be?
