She breathes deeply.  Life is simple and clear.
A surge of love, an urge to help mankind comes over her.

"Here, let me help you. Step down. Here we go.

The drum major's widow, she's worn his coat since the day he died.

The horse's head has lost an ear.

That's the florist laughing.

He has crinkly eyes.

In the bakery window, lollipops.

Smell that! They're giving out melon slices.

Sugarplum ice cream.

We're passing the park butcher.

Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45!

Now the cheese shop.

Picadors are 12.90.

Cabecaus 23.50.

A baby's watching a dog that is watching the chickens.

Now we're at the kiosk by the Metro.

I'll leave you here. Bye!"

In the course of a brisk walk that took less than a minute's time, the young woman gave an old man years of insight into the world around him.  Those moments of inspiration do not just live on the big screen, and for most of us, do not need to be given to us by someone else.  Those moments are available to us daily.

A habitual course of procedure isn't living. 

Grow.  Explore.  Create. 

Play new sports. 

Live beyond of the book.

Today's photo and italicized text are from the French film, "Amelie" starring Audrey Tautou.  It is a wonderful and quirky romance comedy about a rather innocent young woman living in Paris with her own sense of justice who (of course) finds love.
