if we are to make anything of value from this time which we have been granted for our mortal sojourn, it must be from those moments that come in between the lines... those scripted things we do "because".
because we have been told, we walk in a straight line.
because we have been reminded, we pay our bills.
because we were coached, we play ball.
because, because, because...
but what of those moments that come in between the lines? those times that you have to find the humanness inside yourself to reach out and touch the humanness in another?
there are no scripts for those kinds of interactions, only feelings.
there are no words required most of the time, just love.
this little video is a case in point.
because our son Jared is indeed a special soul with special needs, it literally brought tears to my eyes that cascaded down my cheeks in a waterfall of emotion that was always there, but checked by the reality that few truly understand.
I hope this little movie will help others to see that beneath the body that is not so perfect lies a soul that is oh so perfect and far removed from the pollution of this world.
