Monday Whatevers

November 1, 2021

Hello, Friend! 

It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us. 

Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.  

Blessings,
Marcie

This week, I’d like to share a list of some my favorite documentaries. Sometimes, we need to expand our perspectives to become more compassionate and loving human beings:

WHATEVER IS TRUE…

WHATEVER IS HONEST… 
Disclosure: “An in-depth look at Hollywood's depiction of transgender people and the impact of those stories on transgender lives and American culture.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS JUST…
Athlete A: “Follow the Indianapolis Star reporters that broke the story about USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar's abuse and hear from gymnasts like Maggie Nichols.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS PURE…
My Octopus Teacher: “A filmmaker forges an unusual friendship with an octopus living in a South African kelp forest, learning as the animal shares the mysteries of her world.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS LOVELY…
The Booksellers: "A behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS GRACIOUS…
Life, Animated: “A coming of age story about a boy and his family who overcame great challenges by turning Disney animated movies into a language to express love, loss, kinship and brotherhood.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS EXCELLENT…
The Up Series: “Director Michael Apted revisits the same group of British-born adults after a 7 year wait. The subjects are interviewed as to the changes that have occurred in their lives during the last seven years.” (IMBD)

WHATEVER IS WORTHY OF APPLAUSE…
Soul of Summer: “Summer Of Soul (...Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) is a feature documentary about the legendary 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival which celebrated African American music and culture, and promoted Black pride and unity.” (IMBD)
