Another reason why I loved the movie "The Tree of Life" ...and enjoy this human experience


(From The Dish) Christopher Page puts it beautifully:

The only important question for any of us is whether we will open our hearts to the beauty of this love that turns the universe. Will we allow our hearts to be touched and to soften? Will we embrace the struggles of our lives as tools by which the hard protective wall we have built around our hearts can be dismantled releasing the sweet aroma of the love that is the centre of all life?

Terrence Malick’s film invites us to step through the doorway of faith into the presence of that reality that dwells deeper than rational knowing, deeper than emotion in a dimension beyond time and sense. The film invites us into eternity in the present moment, encouraging us to allow our hearts to expand to the point where we begin to experience the reality that all the suffering and anguish of life are simply a crucible for the unfolding beauty that is our true nature and the true nature of all existence.
