I seem to be blogging a lot this weekend. It feels like an important time somehow. Wayne’s asleep (as should I be) and I just finished up watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again.
In 3/04 I wrote this:
The movie was wonderful. It a flowing, gentle romance with a jagged timeline and camera shots that keeps your interest in a Memento like way. There’s a scene that I think will stick in my head for a long time. At the end, when faced with a relationship that failed but couldn’t die, Clementine (Kate Winslet-well acted) says, “I’ll just end up bored and you’ll just end up disillusioned, we know we’ll end up that way.” (paraphrased) Jim Carrey reponds in a sheepish Truman like way, “Ok.” It’s the acknowledgment of humanity’s weakness and our ability to love around and through and despite that weakness. It’s a moment that reminds me what it’s like to be human.
It’s still true. That’s the same moment I went, “Ahhh” about. 5 years and another child later, it’s still the same thing the resonates. I’m still me. It’s interesting to see how I change and how I don’t. Fearfully and wonderfully made.
I’m looking forward to beginning Romans tomorrow in church. I read the chapter this week. Yeah!
