Take a chance and look into the mirror

I woke up this morning feeling, for various reasons, a bit down. Then I checked my e-mails and found a message from my friend Kent Hoffman . He’d forwarded me a video that seemed to put my whole world in perspective. And, at least for one shining moment, the sun blazed through this gloomy and cold late-winter day.

By the way, the clip below is taken from a 2005 movie titled “Angel -A,” written and directed by French filmmaker Luc Besson. The two actors are Rie Rasmussen as the blond angel and Morrocan-born J amel Debbouze as the all-too-human guy who has so much trouble finding any real compassion, much less affection, for himself.
