niffermouse and i watched this a long time ago, and were initially sort of "meh" about it. a few weeks ago, we went for a visit to our local organic farm and took their puppy for a run in the woods. when we came back, we talked briefly to our friend who owns the farm...a propos to nothing, johann started talking about this film and told us we should see it again. so we went to our hokey small town video store and found it on sale for $9. watched it again and got much more out of it...dirtybird, you mentioned the celestine prophecy as something similar. that book, which originally i thought to be full of obvious ideas, has been coming to mind more and more, and particularly after seeing WTBDWK again. my friend johann the farmer is a very inspiring guy, and lives his life realizing that "whether you think that you can or cannot, you are right." this theme runs through WTB, and, who knows, if you truly can change your own reality by thoughts, at the very least life becomes a lot more fun. niffermouse and i are in the middle of selling our house and moving to KW, and this way of thinking about things has been really helpful to both of us.
