DID  YOU  SEE  THE  MOVIE  YET.        .       .

It really doesn’t matter.     .     .

I think it should be mandatory.       .       .

It really doesn’t matter.      .     .

The reason I am sharing the clip is because

of the SPONTANEOUS REACTION

that Hugh Jackman and the Cast had

when the song,

F R O M    N O W    O N

over took them.          .          .

THEY HAD NO CONTROL;

Q     U     I     C     K:

what reaction did you have seeing this?

Don’t watch it again.          .          .

What is your REACTION:

Mine?

It took me to a Wednesday Night

A funeral home

5 year old boy

allegedly killed by his mother

buried in his backyard

private service

family minister not comfortable doing the service

 a small group of people

wanting an answer to the questions of

W H Y

W H A T    F O R

H O W      C O M E

I answered by asking a question:

WHAT’S  YOUR  FAVORITE  STORY

Several were told

T E A R S

L A U G H T E R

S I L E N C E

A STANDING OVATION

for a boy who could only speak 3-4 words.      .      .

for a boy who probably never heard a

‘That’a  boy’

.          .          .I was in the car riding home

and I heard this song

FROM    NOW    ON

from THE  GREATEST  SHOWMAN 

and when it got to the part of:

FROM   NOW   ON
THESE   EYES   WILL   NOT   BE   BLINDED   BY   THE   LIGHTS
FROM   NOW   ON
WHAT’S   WAITED   FOR   TOMORROW   STARTS
TONIGHT
LET   THIS   PROMISE   IN   ME   START
LIKE   AN   ANTHEM   IN   MY   HEART
FROM   NOW   ON
FROM   NOW   ON

I   began   to   weep

but   when   it   got   to:

AND   WE   WILL   COME   BACK   HOME
AND   WE   WILL   COME   BACK   HOME
H   O   M   E         A   G   A   I   N

I pulled the car over and

sobbed

shook

shuddered

and I cried for this young boy

I cried for past funerals conducted

I cried for current patients and their families

I cried for past hurts

I cried for lost opportunities

I cried for Erin

I cried for my children

I cried for grandchildren

I cried for friends hurts and disappointments

I        C    R    I    E    D

and healed

.         .         .music does that

S      P      O      N      T      A      N      E      O      U      S      L     Y

Y  O  U ?

I shared the video with a colleague of mine

and we both cried.     .     .

She had not seen the movie

but told me the clip took her to her mother’s bedside

who had just recently died.        .         .

I told her of the young boy.         .         .

I’m interested.        .        .

what did the spontaneity

spontaneously bring out in

Y  O  U ?

Did it open a door

that’s been safely locked

maybe even hidden

never knocked on

peeked behind

noticed.          .          .

what KEY

opens THAT door

for you?
