I am going to get the book today. The film is inspirational, moving, and refreshing all at the same time, infused with soulful performances by Julia Roberts, Richard Jenkins, Javier Bardem, and other wonderful cast members. It is an experience to be remembered. I have seen it twice, I confess with pleasure. Each time, I take away more. . . If you have seen the movie or read the book already, this next thought will make sense to you. I think my word is "journey" becasue to me life is about our experiences along the way and not so much about the ultimate destination. The journey represents the present to me, whereas destination is implying the future, for which we can only plan but of which, we cannot be certain.
