I Met Joe Black

Meet Joe Black might be the best movie I've ever seen. First time I saw it was about 6 years ago, before I went to the States. I remember sleeping very late, watched it in my Mom's room. I remember giving the DVD to Pia because I didn't want to watch it again. I thought it was great, but I didn't mind not watching it again.

The second time I watched it was December 2007, right before I started working for my former company. I remember watching it and thinking about two men: one was a friend, the other one was a boyfriend.

In between 2007 and 2010, I bought the DVD again. Each time I watched it there was a feeling of longing, enlightenment and passion. I never really listened to the lessons, I was just thinking about how my relationship with someone could be characterized by Anthony Hopkin's definition of love:

"Love is passion, obsession.."

It took me 6 long years, but I now know what the ultimate lesson is:

"Be open.. you never know when lightning strikes."

That's your message, Lord, isn't it? :-)
