I've not seen the film, but have read the book. I loved it, even though it was. . unsettling.
This thread is about love, and miracles, and magic, and faith, and symbols, and ideas. It's become addictive, if I may put it that way? It's like some sort of beautifully woven tapestry of many threads, of many colors. Some reach their ends. . seem to end. . but then are picked up again.
What if Michael could time-travel?
Do you really think he can't? If we all cry at the same time?
Does he need our help, in some way? What if he did?????
He was (is?) a human-being,
but
extremely inquisitive, sensitive, and had a love of learning.
He was a very old soul.
He was a spiritual person,
and very advanced in that, I think.
He was not perfect. .he was human. . but he was GOOD.
There are different kinds of "knowing." Right and left brain? We need BOTH.
Michael was self-educated. He had a library of ten-thousand books!
He knew a lot about a lot, in conventional ways. He also has said that his music did not COME from him. That he was just a conduit, somehow? I believe it. . . . I know it. I am a writer, and my writing comes that way, too. It just is what it is. But from where? The answer is different for different people, depending on culture and spiritual beliefs. Isn't it? But maybe from the same Source?
I won't say here what I think what really happened at the end, except. . he was so unfinished . . . ?
Time and memory are interesting? (There have been many times when I've "previewed" the future. I'm LIKE that, ok? It just is what it is. . .)
We go about in a bubble of the present. Always NOW. A series of "nows," like a line made of individual points, some erasing themselves as we move ever-forward, to be replaced by others. We remember so little, really, of yesterday and the yesterdays before that? A string of days that stretch BACK, into the past? Of all those days, conversations, events, we remember so little, really. In that string of days and moments, there are some that are indelible. The moment we heard of Michael's "passing" is one of those, for each of us, individually. It was like a threshold had been crosssed
that shifted our world? I was actually amazed and encouraged that this thread continued? I used to lurk here. I had no idea how it would go forward, yet it has, and the tapestry of many colors continues.
I have a lot of education. I also believe.. BELIEVE. .in magic, very much. I think in this modern world, we are so science-driven, so commerce-driven, that we do not embrace the mysterious, nearly enough. We want to KNOW, exactly, when "exactly" may not always be possible? We need to find, again, the poetic and the mysterious, to be fully ourselves. I believe, that someday, everything that can be imagined. . can happen.
Michael believed in/hoped for. . a healed world. I still think that can happen.
With all that said, maybe you can help me with something? There is a video I seem to have lost. About Michael. . like a collage. The song to it had the words, something like, "
Do you know?. . you are so beautiful." And then images of Michael's face. The lyrics were also. . "
All the way to the end," or something like that? A lot of the images were from the "Stranger in Moscow" era, in pics.
I NEED to have this video again, so can you please help me find it? I've searched everywhere, but cannot find it. . . There was something to it. . a message.. that I've tried, and failed, to find again (lost when my computer crashed). Anyone know this one? Post a link?
Anyway. . . . . have a good evening, gentle people.
Vic
