It's a triple story, influenced by both Buddhism and Mayan lore--three parallel versions of the same very human experience.
One--the lived-in narrative.
Two--the fictional retelling of one.
Three--the metaphysical redrawing of one and two.
It's the story of losing of a loved one, losing of oneself, and learning what matters most. It's also the story of a quest. It tells of the sometimes prerequisite descent into hellish darkness before ascent to glory becomes possible and how the way to glory (or "the road to awe") requires that we learn to let go of our own way and accept a higher road. We must sometimes relinquish the things we cling to, things that we imagine hold life-giving properties, in order to accept the ultimate source of life and glory. In the end, the things that matter to us most will all be ours; we will have changed to make room for them. Although our own hand-sketched blue print may be altered or discarded along the way, and sometimes several times along the way, it is this release that yields an internal change of state and finally allows us to accommodate an even better state--"awe."
You don't have a copy of it do you?
ReplyDeleteNope. You know I'm too stingy for that. Film Guru Sam has it.
