"We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results" - Herman Melville




Oh another real quick thought. If any of you are interested in Science, Politics, Philosophy, and a little Religion and Art mixed in then you might enjoy watching a movie called ‘MindWalk’.
Just thought I’d throw that out there for you all. It’s not your traditional plot driven movie but it you want to sit and think about things outside your little world then you might want to give this movie a try. :)


The quick dry summary:

A US politician (Sam Waterston) visits his poet friend (John Heard) in Mont. St. Michael, France. While walking through the medeival island discussing their philosophies of life they happen upon Sonja (Liv Ullman), a scientist in recluse, who joins in their conversation. The two men listen to the ideas of this brilliant woman and discuss how her ideas can work in their own politician and poet lives.

I LOVE that movie Cassandra! I think it's awesome that you know it. I remember I used to watch it all the time when I was in high school. I haven't seen it forever. I'll have to rent it again. I love the part when the poet guy starts quoting that Pablo Neruda poem about being caught in the wind. It is so amazing. You're so cool. I'm glad that you let me know about your blog. You should visit mine sometime.
