threeplusfireCurrently reliving a lot of childhood fears while watching The Neverending Story with Melynda. The Nothing scared me, still scares me in some philosophical way.
Every part, every creature of it is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore it has no boundary.

It's a strange thing, this movie, and I haven't watched it in a long time, and full of a profound sadness for a children's movie. There are things that remind me of myself, and the way I was as a child. You can't quite understand the name he calls out at the end, and I think that is part of the magic of the story.
For some reason, the children in this are rather good. They are real and fantastic at once.
Reive's eloquent post on talismans has been in the back of my mind since I went to bed this morning, and it lingers. The things we carry with us to remind us of moments and dreams and ideas
