i saw this incredibly moving canadian film the other day

‘monsieur lazhar’

released a few years back

nominated for a

foreign film academy award

it was

 about a teacher 

and

the

humanity 

of

love

joy

loss

grief

pain

guilt

anger

connection

forgiveness

strength

acceptance

and

finally,

hope.

amazing

how one person

can come into another’s  life

and

lead them

 on a road

towards healing

by

beginning to

heal themselves.

after i watched the final scene

i sat in silence

for a long time after.
