After a pizza dinner with Andy and my parents, we returned home when my Mom texted that ‘The Sound of Music’ and the Charlie Brown Christmas Special were about to be broadcast. When everything else feels wrong and worrisome, something like ‘The Sound of Music’ is an escape to a place and time that somehow feels more innocent. How terrifying that the days leading up to World War II were captured in a movie that now feels innocent.
As the Von Trapp family sang with the Nazi world closing in around them, it felt eerily not that far from where the current world may one day be headed. But once again I was reminded that there are good people here, that goodness and love will triumph, and that light will always drive out darkness.
And a song about one little flower can change one little family who could change our little world.
