MORNING MUSING
I’m a true Gen-Xer — born in 1968, loved childhood in the 70s, and got here of age in the 80s. Movies performed a important function in our tradition — in our lives. Spielberg was big, turning out oodles of hits, not least of which was Poltergeist. I believe I used to be around 13 when I noticed that one — and it scared me proper good. (I did not go to mattress without first checking to make sure my closet doorways had been firmly shut for years after that. And no stuffed animals had been allowed under the mattress. Thankfully, there have been no clowns.) There are a number of iconic scenes and quotes from that one, but one in explicit jumped out at me (no pun meant) this morning as I used to be considering all the darkness that appears to be surrounding us at current: “Run to the light, Carol Anne!”
We need to — flip our faces to the Light, run to it, and embrace it. That’s actually the only reply, is not it?
