To be around those that are inspired, those that truly have passion and live for only one thing is a beautiful thing.
Having watched "Man On Wire" just this past hour was life changing. Not in the sense that it would be something that was an educational experience, it was spiritual.
People don't have passion anymore. Passion is something you like, not something you live for forsaking everything else. Christians have no passion they live in their safe little clubs scattered far and wide. There is no danger... no excitement.
A life of safety is a life not lived. Safety takes away the possibilities to challenge which most times removes the chance to change society in any sort of large and productive way.
Through Phillipe's story I got to peer into a world filled with poetry. A life spent in the pursuit of heaven ---ironically.
Although Phillipe eventually left to love of his youth after reaching his stardom I still clung to what I experienced in the rush of his story. He never told his story you experienced his story.
I will have to purchase that soundtrack. Hopefully it will remind me of how desensitized we have become to the pounding of the world. Hopefully it will inspire me to go past what is normal, past what is expected, past what I want and into what God has for me.
It was as if Phillipe's mad ambition was likened unto our (from our earliest remembrances) being told what we could or could not do. No no! That's dangerous! No no! That'll hurt yourself!
Hopefully by surrounding myself with the stories of those that have lived I too can also live and realize the potential of a life. Life simply is the action of living... and who does that anymore?
