the greatest show on earth


I do not do this very often.


Video is not the best component for blogs. It devours far too much bandwidth.


However, an artist friend directed me to this short film. 20 minutes.


I almost did not watch it. And that would have been a mistake. Fortunately, my "stop saying no" rule kicked in.


And I am glad I did. It was 20 minutes well invested.


I like the music. I like the cinematography. But, most of all, I like the simple tale that this award-winning short film tells.


It is called: The Butterfly Circus.
