August Rush

I saw a wonderful movie yesterday--August Rush. Anyone who loves music and its power in the earth will enjoy it.

It is full of remarkable moments and beaufitul videography and features the New York Philharmonic summer in the park concert.

The story is about a child music prodigy, an orphan, who believes that the music he hears everywhere will eventually lead him to his parents.

The movie opens as August hears the music around him of the tall grasses, the birds, etc. Later in the movie, he writes a symphony which incorporates all the sounds. He says we can all hear the music; all we have to do is listen.

I feel much way about God--he is all around us: in creation, in the movement of the grass, the sound of birds and animals, even the sounds of the city testify to his presence. All we have to do is look and listen.

Don't miss this one, Deb!
