I love my Friday routine: go home to my home city Paranaque after a weeklong stay in Makati, watch a movie, browse inspirin photos, and watch a movie. For this particular night, I really dont have much new saved in my laptop but my brother (who by the way has a girlfriend now!) happened to have a copy of Secret Life of Walter Mitty and I see that it has 7.4 rating over Imdb so I played it. At start it seemed boring, without the comedy, action, drama or mind stuff in its concept. But my soul got really drawn into it when Walter started to step out of his office and find Film #25. In short, he travelled! I know that this is just a fiction but it the parts after it were like neodymium magnets (strongest ones) attracting my heart. I even teared up to see him going out to see the world and imagine myself having the same boldness to leave things behind and pursue greater things.
But you know how Walter really was ablr to fight ride the junky plane with a drunk pilot (and jump from there into the waters), struggle for his life against a shark, meet new people, bike a long road with picturesque scenes, trade a toy with strangers, skate through severl kilometers stretch, escape a volcano eruption, climb the himalayas and glance at a snow leopard? It was all because we was finding someone!!! And right at one monent in the movie when I had to pause the player and practice SELAH that I realize it's the same for us! We get to encounter adventures we never thought we would do as we seek and find or follow the trails God is leading us to follow!
I love the part where it says that Walter makes Sean's work appreciated by those who look at it. Yeah it's the God and me analogy because God has pictured so much beautiful things that can only appreaciated if developed (by us!)
I enjoyed how passion this movie is, but it's 1am now and my mind is starting to fall asleep.
I WANNA TRAVEL MORE!!!! Zzzz
