A Place Far Away


I always watch Out Of Africa to bring in the New Year. Is it because it is the movie that inflamed my heart with dreams so long ago, or is it because of its New Year's Eve scene that always comes to mind? Maybe both, either way it takes me to a place of neverending hope...a place far away from the mundane or troubles of today.




"Give me your lantern and compass, give me a map. So I can find my way to the sacred mountain."Psalm 43


 
 
 
"Uniquely yours in a grove of trees, centered in lotus land. Let me graze in lush Bashan as in the days of green Gilead. " Micah 7:14





May hope rise in all its beauty with the promise of a new year. Keep dreaming, keep believing. ox

Sea Tidings,
Kerrie

Kerrie I have never seen this movie...but I did just finish watching Pride and Prejudice for about the 2 rd time in my life. I love the love and passion they have for one another...breath-taking...
New Years blessings to you sweet friend xo

A great movie to watch for New Year! Have you seen Beasts of the Southern Wild Kerrie? Don't read anything about it, just watch it through to the end...

Well, this post made me watch the movie this week and I did enjoy it! Now I am reading the book which I also love--I like her descriptive writing and how it creates feelings in my mind and heart.

The most beautiful movie I've ever seen... even the french voice of Meryl Streep is soft to my ears...
