WALL-E and the Cross of Christ

OK I'm back home ... still struggling in this Here and Now but really feeling better. Still hurting ... but WALL-E (2008) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/helped. I cried and cried afterward. No not about WALL-E but of course for you Momma. I miss you so much so much so much.

But WALL-E opens with this panorama of devastation amid which WALL-E wanders alone and lonely but Doing His Thing ... Doing the Next Right Thing. All to the tune of "Put on your Sunday clothes ..." from Hello Dolly(1969) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064418/

For the lyrics of "Put on your Sunday clothes" ... http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/hellodolly-movie/putonyoursundayclothes.htm

As I walked out I still ached but had remembered O Lord Your Cross.

And ... Charles ... what part of the word Cross don't you understand?

Of course it hurts. It's a Cross. It's the Cross. To the bearing of which we are all Called by Christ Himself.

Oh God it hurts. It all hurts so so so so so so much.

But it's the Cross.

It's the Cross.

It's Your Cross.

OK then.

Shit.

But OK then.

Thy Will Not Mine Be Done.

"Take up your Cross daily and Follow Me."

Shit.

OK.

OK.

Thy Will be Done.
