For those of you who frequent my blog, you know I never post videos. It's not that I have anything against them, I genuinely love them (think graphics) but seldom have the time to watch or share. Life always has me (and you as well, I'm sure) running around from here to there.
Even if I sit in front of this monitor all day, I'm either working on any number of custom projects, work related to-dos, or school work ~ so to post a video of any sort which requires me (or you) to stop for a moment is simply unseen around here.
and yet that's what I've done...
While visiting a new blog, I found this video which so many words could describe ~ poignant, magical, wonderful, but it was the tears that silently streamed down my cheeks at the end that described it best.
Even while watching I thought, "I have to go", "I don't have time for this", "I really need to __________", but I kept watching. Perhaps because I knew I needed to ~ what was 15 minutes out of my life anyways?
So if you can relate to what I've shared here then I hope you'll do the same as I'm sure you'll find it a true gift.
Enjoy~

The video was so touching. I am from a long line of readers. Books bring us to life as we bring life to them by reading them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen many of my family members ahead of me "sail" away with the books baloons as I will too some day.
Thank you for sharing such a touching film....

I'm glad that I took the time to watch this. You described it perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful video. It is so amazing how books can color our world and allow us to share so much to so many.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

I am going to take 15 minutes and watch this video:) I believe I need it too! Have a blessed day my friend, BIG HUGS to my newest follower!
ReplyDeleteOh Sharon, that was 15 minutes of my life that I will treasure always. That was such an amazing portrayal. Touching, enchanting, beautiful. Thank you so much for piquing my interest and feeding my soul. Hugs to you always, Mina
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and engaging story. Reading is so important, Im teaching my youngest daughter to read and because she has learning difficulties it is hard for her. But she wants to learn and even at 9 years old she still wants a bedtime story. We're working our way through Dinotopia at the moment and she loves it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon! Thank you for sharing this poignant video. I love books, and it was SO worth spending the 15 minutes :) (I'm just like you in thinking I always need to be hurrying from one thing to another.) What a sweet and touching story!
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone could discover the magic of reading.
Sometimes taking those few minutes to focus on something beautiful and meaningful feeds our soul for the whole week :) Thanks so much for sharing this x
