Spring
Spring is my favorite time of year everything is renewed! It's seems to me winter is the spring cleaner of our northern part of the world. Winter stops the grass and trees from growing. Stops insects in their tracks from moving. Winter covers the land like a blanket, putting the brakes on the cycle on life, of a lot of the north. When the snow moves off the lawns and pastures, they go from white to shades of browns then sprigs of green grass start to appear and finally to full shade of green. As these colors are changing the birds come back to nest one by one, everyday their new sounds of different birds. Then finally the land is renewed. The spring snows always make me feel good in a way, not nice to drive in! But it is when we get that fresh fallen snow starts to melt in the strong rays of the sun as the earth tilts back to give us that heat; the fresh fallen snow always melts so fast. We hear the sounds of water running threw the eaves trough in the bright sunlight, without the sound of rain. Spring is here.

I Am
Tom Shadyac was in Banff on the weekend. He was there for his showing of his movie I Am. He is a director of quite a few movies from Hollywood. Gives us some answers to these questions. What's wrong with the world? What can we do about it? After the movie showing Tom held a Q/A very interesting.
Synopsis
I AM, a prismatic and probing exploration of our world, what's wrong with it, and what we can do to make it better, represents Tom Shadyac's first foray into non-fiction following a career as one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners, with such successful titles as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," and "Bruce Almighty" to his credit. I AM recounts what happened to the filmmaker after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man. Disillusioned with life on the A-list, he sold his house, moved to a mobile home community, and decided to start life anew. Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a camera crew, Shadyac embarks upon a journey to discover how he as an individual, and we as a race, can improve the way we live. Appearing on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig, Shadyac meets with a variety of thinkers and doers--remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, and faith--including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc Ian Barasch. An irrepressible Everyman who asks many questions but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways. Copied from a cinema synopsis.
This is a must see documentary.
