Its a very simple story but very heart-warming and beautiful. Again reminding us about the true significance of friendship and also about the ordinary miracles around us. Apart from the heart-warming lessons, there are also harsh realities presented in a gentle way such as you can't keep one's attention or curiosity for long. Something that seemed extraordinary today, will become forgotten or lose its nobility tomorrow. And that when someone/something has lost its value, he/she/it will be discarded.
One of the original songs in this movie is Ordinary Miracle sung by Sarah McLachlan. Very nice melody. Actually I'm one who don't really pay much attention to the lyrics more the melody, rhythm :P
Anyway, I found the lyrics and would like to share the beautiful lyrics here ...
It’s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
to give some of your own
Isn’t it remarkable
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
But always make it home by Spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
‘cause we’re all a part…
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
It's just another ordinary miracle today
I'm very happy to catch such a meaningful movie in the first day of 2007. Thanks to B & J for the company ! Glad I managed to catch this show with you ! :)
Afternote: Just recently Roentgen shared with us about how he has seen so many cases of people (with wife & children) in hospitals but having no visitation nor support while there are others who have no families and yet very well taken care of by the friends around him/her. Watching this show just helps to reinforce the point about the importance of kinship & friendship. About doing good for others and for yourselves. It doesn' t matter if I remain single but it matters to me to lead a fruitful life and to hopefully be blessed enough to have a group of wonderful friends around who will care enough to visit me when I'm old, withered and dying. :P Of course, everything starts with me ... can I be someone who will be loved by friends ?
And once again lead me back to a question that I ponder occassionally, who will cry for me when I die ?
Wow, heavy stuff for the 2nd day of the new year :P

The hospital perspective just goes to show that you never know who you can depend upon in life, be it friends or family. Sometimes, it can be the most unexpected people who provide support in ways you never imagined.
Like one of my good friends once shared:
Without the unexpected rain, we would never discover the places where we can seek shelter :)
Got the music ? I want to hear can ?
