Beyond the rim, small run, today in time



Went out for a small run tonight. It was great to be out. Recently I was trying to think of 5 favorite movies. I came up with a few. One was "Somewhere in Time". I forgot to list the Johnny Cash movie I walk the line or something along that line. Watched it a dozen times you would think I could be more sure of the name. The thought that with Christopher R. gone that it was too sad, the movie "Somewhere in Time" of course, was mentioned. Still think it is a great movie myself. I like the picture here. It reminds me of the movie and it also reminds me of Tennyson's poem below. The poem often reminds me of my parents, now in "that new world which is the old". I like that phrase especially. Going back to where we came being with those past and it being new. I suppose that "time travel" appeals to folks for a variety of reasons. Makes for some interesting plots. Somewhere in Time was about time travel but it was about that new world that was old and I think touched on the brotherhood of mankind as a whole. I recall older cousins that when I was young I would have never considered being a friend to them or able to talk and enjoy a conversation with them. Time changes that. Enough time might change it all.
*
And on her lover’s arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold
And far across the hills they went
In that new world which is the old;

Across the hills, and far away
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the dying day
The happy princess follow’d him

Alfred Tennyson
