i watched a movie last night with kevin spacey in it. he plays the lead, and it was a pisser of a show, until the very end, and his closing dilouge made the whole thing worth the investment of two hours.
its called "the shipping news", and i whole heartedly recomend everyone see it. if even for the last few lines. its on max,hbo,shotime,tmc, or starz. i only know this because that is all the movie channels i have.
that line says someting to the effect
"if a drowned man can wake up, and a town can find a new purpose, then a broken man can heal."
i know i dont remember it exactly, because im incapable of total recall, but i know and remember exactly the emotion and feelings it inspired as spacey's voice over came through while the camera panned the rocky and rugged coast of newfoundland, the powerful north atlantic trying to sink that island, and the wind trying to erode it into non existance.
some times i feel like an island that forces try to destroy, but the words"a broken man can heal" give me an odd sense of hope....... and life is full of wonder.
reflections
the mirror tells a story,
its a damned lie.
you cant see my heart,
by lookin into my eye.
i am red, black, brown, and white
and a reflection is skewed,
twisted, bent, its not right.
what is there can rarely be seen,
its as elusive as mist,
lifes smoke screen.
what you see isnt whats there, its all just glass
bending the reality
and kicking your ass.
you see it, and want to touch it
but it run astray,
much like the tide,
carries your castles away.
