So I absolutely loved this movie! I may have even been the inspiration for Carol’s character. I love to love but hate the pain that is so often associated with it. I’m looking for someone to follow but so often get let down. I can build and organize great things when I am motivated but have also been known to royally screw things up when I am hurt or upset. Obviously, I am a wild thing.
The movie teaches us that there is no escape from pain. Each of us must draw our strength from within and from the love of our friends and families. So much of our life is spent waiting for someone else to come and fix our problems or to heal our hearts. These are things that we ultimately must do for ourselves.

I have some theological reflections in the works based upon this movie that I may post here later. For now, I just encourage everyone to see it. I even suggest that you wear your pajamas when you go to see it (my friends Kemper and Darcy and I did when we went!), maybe it will help bring you back to where you were when you first read the book.
Now that's an awkward hug!
