I almost missed the Special Features on the "Chaplin" DVD from Netflix.
It is 4 pm on Feb 5 and I am waiting till six for the Boise State vs SDSU basketball game.
I did one responsible thing today. Make a deposit to get enough in to pay the rent and take the Mortgage to Chase.
The special features brought tears. I am relate to this genius of a man who consoled me for a nickel at the Silent Movie across from Fairfax High.
It was 1960 when my mother died of cancer. I escaped on Friday nights to go to The Silent Movie around from 62-63, maybe earlier.
Silent Movies were not popular in those days. I imagine the owners of that theatre were doing a special favor in keeping the storefront open.
Keeping the storefront open? That is a theme in my head today. Maybe that is where my tears are coming from. I have broken many rules at home where I live with seven others.
We are solvent by a thread of Grace. This is a time when shifts are afoot if I am to graduate from the deep burden of carrying what feels like a weight, There is an unaccounted expense that weakens my immune system. I have to make changes if we are to cross over to a healthier household,
I am looking at my flaws today.
Chaplinm Robert Downey jr. in the film, speaks about Chaplin feeling less than in spite of his wealth. He was an incredible genius. So am I, but I wonder if my genius will ever shine brighter than it has already in what has been a remarkable life outside the box.
If i am to sustain here, I need to summon a strength here beyond what i have exercised to say "no" where I have said "yes."
It all seems so difficult now.
