The restraint, the poetry in its visual language, the silence and pauses in between. Such a beautiful film! #PastLives
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The very first thing you want to do as it ends, is rewatch the first scene again & then let #PastLives break your heart into a million pieces. One of the most poignant romantic movies ever, it’s a painful yet elusive mystery of what life could have been. Heart-wrenching.
#PastLives is quietly stunning. It's honest, tender and realistic about how our names, location, the people we love and the decisions we make shape our lives. It has moments of silence and stillness that pack a massive emotional punch.
This film is special.

Why are teachers striking?
The resounding message from teachers on picket lines today is: It’s much more than just pay.

The best thing I have seen for while on twitter. I would add that this extends (more subtly) to services 'capturing voice of families'.
The "for f&%ks sake" made me laugh out loud

This series just got me through a really bad patch.
It was a reminder that I am precious.
That regretting the past & worrying about the future is a waste.
That I am lucky in so many ways I take for granted.
Heartfelt thanks to the writers, cast and crew

Sometimes it is a real privilege to shoot the sound checks @Daylight_Music. Seeing brilliant coaching by @theoae of young musicians is inspiring

“Oh, you gonna ignore me even though you hungry, boy. Even though the water bill past due and the light and gas too? Ain’t you tired of getting bullied at school? Don’t you want a new pair of shoes?”

If someone who was religious, especially a member of a high-control religion, tells you they're now an atheist, the only correct response is "Thank you for trusting me, I love you. What can I do to support you?"
It most certainly isn't to cross examine them about their reasons.
Just saw this incredibly talented individual singing near the wings at Angel Central. Hearing them cover "Best Part" caught my attention & made my day so much better. youtu.be/kV7aXhPE5GE
