A Scene From The Movie ‘CONTACT’:
Intelligent aliens make first contact with earth. People are divided as to the meaning and impact this contact has on human life and spirituality.
Palmer Joss is a renowned Christian philosopher who becomes romantically involved with Ellie, an atheist scientist who makes first contact with aliens.
Palmer Joss: I think it’s because we’re looking for the meaning. Where is the meaning? We have mindless jobs, we take frantic vacations, deficit finance trips to the mall to buy more things that we think are going to fill these holes in our lives. Is it any wonder that we’ve lost our sense of direction?
A Thought For Your Life:
What can we do when we’ve lost our sense of direction? How about love more – ourselves and each other? Eat when we’re hungry (not just because there is food around). Sleep when we’re tired (not because a clock tells us it’s time). Nurture our relationships by showing and sharing our love.
How can your expression of love help ground you in the winds of change?
