I think we do forget to be in the moment. We see the big picture as overwhelming forgetting that all the little pieces are what makes is special in the moment. I know I'm guilty of that a lot.

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.
Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
O Yogi ! O Mystic !
What may i say!
I was there
You were there too
Before my birth
When i was a child
When i was an adolescent
When i was young
I was there
When i got married
When my husband died
I was there
And now see
I am here with you
O Yogi ! O Mystic !
You will come
I knew well
And i waited patiently
I am here
You are here
We are together
We were together
And we will be together
After this mundane drama
I will be there
You will be there
In the Kingdom of Light
Beyond pain and pleasure
Beyond Life and Death
O Yogi ! O Mystic !
You know it
I know it
It's a brief meeting here
We shall be there again
Forever and Forevermore
O YOGI ! O MYSTIC !
