Story - "Mother and Child"

Mother and Child

Once Upon a Time,

There was a young girl

who was treated cruelly

by a man and woman

pretending to be her parents.

And in time,

she was with child.

Her child was wise 

and moved kindly within her.

Her mother,

being careful not to move,

without hurting her child.

For nine months

they cared for each other in this way,
gently, gently............

If not, death would come to the other.

For you see,

the child's seed had been sown 

outside her mother's womb

and planted within her intestines.

Come the time for the child's birth,

it was done by caesarean section.

And the child taken from her mother,

never to be seen again.

How deep is the love between mother and child ?

Choosing life, one for the other.

Film - "The Chaperone"

On Mon 8 April, 2019,
I went to the
Australian Premiere
of the film, "The Chaperone",
at the Ritz Cinema
in Randwick, Sydney, Australia.

I enjoyed the event
very much  :)

Elizabeth McGovern,
who helped produce,
and acted in the film,
was there for
the Q & A session beforehand.

Here are highlights
from the evening  :)

is a major theme
within the film  :)
