My daughter is on vacation this week. I rented the movie,
Hugo. It is an endearing film, set in Paris. A 12 year old orphan boy lives behind the walls and tunnels of a train station. I don't want to ruin the movie, but there is a key missing that will change Hugo's destiny. It is a touching film, visually stunning in 3D. I couldn't help, but think of my Dad and his passion. I found all the stories worked well in movement around the boy's situation. The boy and the key profoundly change lives. I want you to pen a poem about a key in your life. What profoundly connects you to yourself, makes you unique. Maybe your talent is your key, it opens doors for you. What is your passion? This is an essential key to who you are. All of us have a few keys, pick one and see what it opens.
Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.
~W. Clement Stone
"Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness." ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
"The key to your universe is that you can choose." ~Frederick (Carl) Frieseke
