Stuff in my head

There is something quite magical about some things. I say magical because I don't fully understand why these things speak to people on such a profound level, without any aparent reason. Some things that make us feel in certain ways instantly.
Like how soothing fire can be.
I remember a few years ago, walking into this amazing church in Vienna. It's called Votivkirche and it's absolutely majestic. Somewhere inside was a huge table filled with tiny candles. I myself am not a religious person, but I stood there for about five minutes just looking at the little flames. The warmth, the silence and just the vibe in there gave me this deep feeling of being safe, like home, even though, if you look at the place, it's a little creepy.

It's the same with music. Listen to some sort of classical, or even choir music, and I just mellow down and feel like everything is fine.

Amazing how much past realities, like the link between fire and safety or home, are still very much alive in us.

Brasil much?

Eat Pray Love.

Not as great as it is said to be, but it did give me the urge to travel. Now. To go somewhere crazy where no one goes. I want to go to New Zealand and Egypt, to South Africa and Chile, to Bali and everywhere else.

While watching, I couldn't help but think that maybe this girl's soul finding trip was something like a year-long exchange. [just a little brainwashed. just a little.] Now I wanna go. Far away. To see and feel and do and taste and hear. The familiar gets really boring sometimes.

IMDb gives it a 5.1. I'd give it a 7. For the wonderful Brazilian music, the amazing sights from Bali, and for at least trying to make a deep and meaningful movie. And for having James Franco in it. And a pretty elephant. And for the shots of the sea. Ok, I'm done. :)
