Lions for Lambs



Minimalist story-telling. It is an approach to conveying a story that presumes intelligence in others; the kind of intelligence that can finish the thought being explored in the story! An intelligence that requires a life of exposure, of desire to learn, to know one's own self better. A story for those who believe and live following through on those beliefs; not a place that attracts identification with ego in all it's tired and small forms!

I watched this movie for the first time tonight. Yeah, I have been tucked away fighting the good fight for many years_ call me sheltered from a lot that has happened in popular culture for a while now!
The decision to watch it in the first place was to see how many films my local library has with Meryl Streep... ever seen "Alice in the Palace?"

The Great Turning; a synopsis



'The Great Turning: the work of an entire species shifting its entire historic human mindset of who and what we are in relation to the entire planet; recognizing deeply that we are a species that is A LIVING PART OF a LIVING PLANET.' (paraphrased) _ Joanna Macy
