I saw a documentary yesterday by myself: The Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Werner Hertzog. It was beautiful and fascinating, about a cave in France recently discovered that has rock art from 32,000 years ago and before. The images are so beautiful and powerful. It leads you to imagine what these people's lives were like and to see all the connections between then and now. I'm going to try to drag some friends or family members to see it before it leaves. And I'm so excited about Terence Malick's "Tree of Life" coming out. It's not here yet but will be soon. His movies are so dear to my heart.
The weather today is like winter with more flowers out. Overcast, gray, threatening rain. I got caught in the rain a bunch yesterday. Today I'm going to work and read, only going out for my voice lesson. I'm reading the book about little girls and Disney Princesses and it's fascinating. My girls were all grown up before this phenomenon hit childhood, but I see it with my foster granddaughter and granddaughter. It helps that the writer is funny and not judgmental. She had a genuine curiosity to understand what was happening to her daughter. Her research is eye opening. I"m grateful that toys and clothes for girls used to come in colors other than pink. With the granddaughters I just pick what I approve of to give them - the pressure is on their moms. And the pressure sounds like it's huge.
Well, I shall do my best to cheer myself up on this gloomy day. And try not to think too much about global warming.
