Tonight I finally managed to find the time to see the movie "Mamma Mia!" I know that someone will surely petition to have my membership card revoked for taking so long to see the movie or the play.
It really is a cute movie and I even enjoyed Pierce Brosnan's singing. It seemed to at least have the passion for the scenes even if he isn't the best singer.
It also hit all the romantic bones in my personality. It reminded me how much I do believe in the power of love. It seems to be well drilled in our social consciousness to want to share your life with someone and express the love in our hearts. I also was reminded how wonderful it can be to take the one you love into your arms and not care what the world thinks. If two people truly love each other and fit together as naturally as the two sides of a ying and yang then surely there must be a way to let that love grow and flourish.
If love can't uplift and support you then why is it such an important part of the human existence? Isn't love a spiritual connection to the divine? Should't it be the natural part of the soul's progression through this existence?
Oh, l'amour, l'amour, how it can let you down. Hmm. How it can pick you up again. - The Countess DeLave "The Women" (1939)

Seriously?! You just now saw the movie?! Molly and I went opening night!! And I couldn't believe that my 17 yr old (then) daughter knew all the words to the ABBA songs! It rocked. We sang along, hell, the whole theatre sang along. And a group of women, maybe a little older than I, and a much drunker, got up and danced in the theatre. It rocked. Pierce is yummy to look at, but his voice needs work. I have the soundtrack. Lol.
ReplyDeleteLove. Ah, the best and worst emotion ever. Runs you through the wringer and back again. And yet, we never give up on it.
Loved the quote.
