Finally saw “Return of the King” today. What a great movie. What an enduring theme. It was 1966 in Haight Ashbury that I first read the Ring Trilogy and was thoroughly intrigued by it. It’s remained a part of my personal mythology ever since. This has got to the best movie of the year. I must admit I was crying tears of joy at the end. I do cry rather easily and often. No I’m not ashamed of that. The more we can learn to cry and express our emotions the better off we will be. Men especially have been trained not to cry or express emotions, but I think we are the losers for that. Being able to experience the full range of emotions is a good thing. Then we are fully alive and present to life. Don’t get caught up in a false division of the sexes.
Peace,
