You Know What I Like About Movies? The Clouds

Photo Taken By Alina Barnett near Multnomah Falls, Oregon

I absolutely love movies.  In another life, I'd probably be a movie reviewer or something.  Well, actually for about four months I was a movie reviewer for a now defunct online magazine.

But you want to know what I almost always notice about a movie, especially a movie I like to re-watch again and again  (If I love a movie, i will watch it a million times over)?

I notice the clouds.  Every-time I see a cloud in a movie, or in a family photo, it reminds, me that out in the world, I will never see that cloud again.  The cloud has died. 

A tad melodramatic, I know, but it is also a cool glimpse into the past and a constant reminder to cherish what we have in life.  We won't know when its gone. 

And like the clouds I just saw in a scene in Dumb and Dumber, things; people and places of the past will soon be mere memories; an unnoticed addendum to a popular Jim Carrey movie.

So yes, I notice the clouds, I do my best to love and remember the past, while cherishing the present.

Let's all try it.
