thoughts from a film...

Tonight, I could easily sit and write a novel or two about what I am feeling and thinking, and living right now. Writing what we feel and think... writing what we live... just seems like such a natural thing to do on these blogs. Blogging seems so second-nature. Betsy, Christian and I often talk about fun it is to blog and to put your thoughts out there for all to read (even though this 'all' consists of betsy and christian). Like I said, tonight I could easily come up with endless sentences on what is going on in my head, but I don't think I want to. Shocking, I know. But what I do want to do is quote a movie that I know many of you are all too familiar with. The story of Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly. The story of pure, old-fashioned romance. A story that I, personally, fall in love with each time I watch it. And coincidentally... this small (yet meaningful) monologue kinda sums up what I am feeling and thinking, and living...

"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but circumscribed. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So goodnight, dear void."

Goodnight, dear void~
