Last week, we had the first-ever SCREAMING FILM FEST.  Hopefully, you saw them all.  And, if you did—you enjoyed them and sent them on to friends and family.  It would be really swell to think some of them would want to know where all this cool stuff came from, so you can direct them back here to sign up for future SCREAMING and TRUTH SEEKING.

Even though the short clips appeared to have different subjects, they actually relate to common themes of our own human nature and further discovery of our deepest truth.

In the ODD COUPLE, the love story between a dog and elephant—illustrates an unlikely paring.  Wouldn’t we all love to feel the complete freedom to love whoever we fell in love with—-regardless of fur balls and trunk size?  Our hearts are color blind, culture-less, and all encompassing.   

In DID YOU KNOW? a stunning buffet of facts about how our world is developing—-our planet, exponentially exploding with people and technology.  Either of those things can strike fear…..or excitement…..or both.  That’s a choice we get to make every day.  We can embrace and join the race or resist and see our anxiety persist.

And, in STAND BY ME—-just the lyrics alone—are about supporting one another. It’s about honoring the request of friends, who are asking us to make our own unique contribution—–and then, stepping up with creativity and purpose to follow through, enhancing the original idea in a way that made it even more original.

These common themes:  THE FREEDOM to CHOOSE, EMBRACING THE FACTS,  ASKING FOR SUPPORT, and FOLLOWING THROUGH are the foundational keys for any dream to become reality.

Is it time to let yourself go for a dream or two?
