When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea.

When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one.

My husband introduced me to that movie very early on in our relationship, a little hesitantly I think, feeling that if I had a bad reaction to it it might drive a wedge between us. We each wanted so very much to be understood.

I love the movie, and it does go very well with wine. And I love Columbo in it. Peter Falk has a great dry manner. I love his ruminations. "Extras... extra people..."

None of us are extra people. I think that is a piece of what the movie is about.

Of late I sometimes turn off the radio on my way to work and just listen to the whoosh of cars and the low grilling noise of my engine and let my thoughts happen. It seems hard to actually find one's self alone these days.

Your posting is worthy of the film. I hope your journey is interesting and that you find some rest and some surprise in it. Perhaps rest itself would be surprising.
