Patch Adams
Sunday, July 1st, 2007“All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers, all of us. All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home. It’s hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow; you don’t even know you’re walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind. How small you can feel, and how far away home can be.
Home. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination. And the storm? The storm was all in my mind. Or as the poet Dante put it: In the middle of the journey of my life, I found myself in a dark wood, for I had lost the right path. Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.”
Patch Adams is the first movie I watched which moved me.
The paragraphs which you’ve just read are the opening lines of the movie. And the music so fits the contemplative mood of the storyline. There are 18 tracks in the soundtrack - this is the one that always reminds me of Patch Adams whenever I hear it.
I’m inspired by the story of Patch Adams. I’m also amazed by the power of movies and the impact a well-shot movie can have on the audience. Since then, I’ve been hooked on movies and become a hardcore movie buff :)

Hey Jude
Sunday, July 1st, 2007At every stage in our lives, there is probably a song or story or movie scene which is somewhat representative of how we are feeling then.
For me, the song that immediately came to my mind right now is HEY JUDE. The lyrics are a great source of inspiration to me.
“Take a sad song and make it better”, “You have found her, now go and get her”, “Anytime you feel the pain, .. don’t carry the world on your shoulders”…
What is the song in your life right now ?
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don’t let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey, Jude,
You’ll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
