....the web site for this project says, "We had an idea. Go to a place. Ask Fifty people the same question. Film their responses." Thus far, they have asked people one of two questions. The video above, is one person's reaction to recognizing the filmmakers as he is asked, "If you could have anything, what would it be? You can view additional video on You Tube showing others as they answer this question and also, "If you could wake up anywhere, where would it be?" As I heard the answers to this second question, my response came to me without hesitation. I immediately thought of something that happened to me one evening in 1989...a night that changed my life. As I reflected on my answer, I began to watch the video below about the infant and the train. Please give some thought to how you would respond to this question, then watch the video below and pop over to my web site for the whole story. I am continually amazed by the synchronicity of life.
If you like, share your answer to the question in the comments below. If you could wake up anywhere, where would it be?
There are a couple of versions of this video posted on You Tube and I selected this one because it gave me time to think; to consider all that happened in those few seconds. The news report audio tells us the mother attempts to push the stroller away from the platform and out of harms way. The brake, however, was not set, and the stroller rolls into the path of the oncoming train. After stopping, the train does not move, and the baby was rescued with only a few scratches. As I watched the video for the first time, I was preparing the blog entry just above this one, Fifty People, One Question. As it turns out, the question asked and this video are very much connected. Please give some thought to these two entries and be sure to read the entire story at my web site.
