Signs


I just saw the movie Signs by M. Night Shyamalan on TV. I saw it in the theatres but was not able to get as much of the message, on account that I was scared sh*tless. I love this film...

On the surface, it is this truly believable amazing alien invasion picture, but on a deeper level, truly the whole movie is about having faith. So of course it got me thinking and I realized that faith is a force that exist beyond religion (meaning it does not matter what religion you believe)

... Faith is the energy produced when you believe in something bigger than yourself. It is trusting the universe and believing that you have a place in that universe. The energy generated by faith will light the darkest of times, energize you when you think you can't go another step and guide you to a better future no matter how bleak your present may be.

So if your cup is running a little low do yourself a favor and see this film...

Hello LittleBrownGirl 2.0:

I haven't seen 'Signs' either. And I probably won't. I'm not courageous enough. Scary films play with my head for so long afterwards, its not worth it.

But faith, ahhh. Now we're onto something. I've lived quite some time on this earth and I am still surprised at myself how eagerly I abandon faith in the One when confronted with simple earthly matters. On a daily basis I learn the lesson that continued faith is the only hope we really have and for some reason I bail on it...

To be continued, I suppose.
