Reteaua luminoasa

Vorbeam cu Cata azi si i-am zis, asa cum i-am zis si lui Hugh in urma cu cateva saptamani, ca eu cred in iubire. Iubire de orice fel, iubirea care ne leaga unii de altii intr-o retea luminoasa care face viata suportabila. Uneori mai cred in muzica frumoasa care inalta (ultima a fost The National), in carti, mai ales romanele depre familii cu multe generatii (Marques, Isabel Allende, Amy Tan), in filme, deci in arta care ma face sa nu ma mai gandesc la mine, ci la o lume mare mare mare cu multe intelesuri. Mai cred in diversitate, ma emotionez pana la lacrimi cand vin acasa pe metrou si vad atatia oameni diferiti dar care au in comun faptul ca iubesc pe cineva. Din nou, reteaua luminoasa - o imagine pe care cred ca o am de la o discutie cu Oli, care o avea din ceva film cu extraterestii, ca sa vezi. In momentele astea, cand simt reteaua luminoasa in mine, ma gandesc ca sunt fie foarte foarte aproape, fie foarte foarte departe de a descoperi pe Dumnezeu.

"And this is how it is in heaven"

My favorite movie of the year, "Rachel Getting Married," so modern and beautiful and multicultural and full of love.
