Today’s poem is from Alicia Ostriker…
when love floods a person
it cuts
a canyonthat deepens year after year
carrying silt
away leavingthe essential person
revealed
letting everyone seethe layers of yellow
sandstone, red basalt
grey granitewhen love washes over a person
it washes
the person away
When looking for today’s video I got lost in a sea of clips from Dead Poets Society, one of my all-time favorite films and one of the best roles Robin Williams ever played. I haven’t watched the film in a long time, maybe not since Robin died, but after seeing those clips I just may have to cue it up this week. If you have not seen this film I highly recommend adding it to your list. You will not be disappointed.
Thinking about this movie and thinking about Robin Williams, I decided to make a list of my top 10 Robin Williams movies (his TV character Mork is iconic in its own right but my list is limited to movies)…I’d love to know your favorites…let me know in the comments.
I LOVE The Birdcage! It's hilarious!
