THE NEXT ACT

Vzpomínky na jedno dobrodružství by Robert Fulghum My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love reading Mr Fulghum's writing. It's light. It's fun. And full of insights. This one never miss a thing to entertain and to inspire. Thanks to this book, I got a new perspective on the benefit I got from dancing. Now I am more excited to dance frequently.

Not facing your fear is letting yourself going around in circles or walking back and forth. And the only way to escape the routine and to move forward is to face your fear. It is my own fear and nobody can deal with it but me. And it is impossible to run away from me. I have a son who never seizes to amaze me because of the values I learned from him. It takes a child's pure heart to know the real value of dealing with life. He is a boy who is determined to do what he has never explored before and never stopped trying until he conquers it. At a young age he used to have a fear of going up with lifts. He stares at it. He walks back and forth. He stares it again. Maybe not this time. He makes himself busy with something else. He could not forget. He stares at it again. And it takes a long painful while getting around it. Until he grabs mum's and dad's hands dragging us to enter the lift. Pushes the UP button. And there! He smiles. He laughs. We laugh toge...

I wanted to see this movie expecting that I would experience what it is like being scared by the powerful weather that swipes the earth. With all the news reports on TV and Youtube, man, these are powerful stuff. Well the movie delivers what I expected.  I don't worry about the bad acting because I wasn't there for that. This is a movie for my guilty pleasure. Although, I relish the scene when  dad went to save his drowning son who couldn't get out of the water when he was stuck with a cumbersomely hefty beam that two or three men couldn't hoist. It was heartfelt. The movie won't pass as critically acclaimed but O Yeah I have been in one great ride..
