  10. That was the best. I love the part where the girl is silhouetted against morning sun, and puts up the blind, and then in the next frame, the teacher pulls down the map over the chalkboard...

  12. Beautiful.That is life. Poetic even.

    Except the only thing bugging me the whole way through is that the sound of the guitar ping should have been after the bra strap was done up, not before. Did anyone else think that?

  14. I had a moment today myself. Driving home from work on Alberta Street, I saw a little boy running down the sidewalk. Suddenly, he picked up speed, ducked his head down, and threw his arms out to the side. I expected him to take off flying. And I think he did, too. Gave me the same feeling as watching this video. Awesome.

  16. Andrea -

    I just found your blog via www.susannahconway.com I am taken by the beauty of your posts - your photos, lists, passions. And then this small film - made my day (unless other EXCITING MOMENTS are in store for me!!)! All these moments, all these Nows. I had this epiphany the other day where the Now merged into all the other Nows and there was no hurry anymore, no rushing from one task to another, one thought to another.....And then I woke up, someone calling my name..... or was it myself who just couldn’t bear the total EASYness of it all? I seem to be drawn to complication.......(ugh!)

  17. I love this montage. It was made by the people at radiolab and if you haven't listened to any of their podcasts you should. They're amazing and will make you feel so much smarter and so much more one with the world.
