Well… more so “how this confirmed & renewed what I already knew & believed” about so many things.

I believe in the divine presence / beauty / light within all of us. I am idealistic – some say unrealistic. I am a dreamer… a visionary. I believe, ultimately, in the eternal goodness within all of us.

If you had witnessed my life, you may be struck by this utopic view – life has not always been kind. But, throughout all I have experienced – whether suffering or rejoicing – I have found beauty.

This movie is real. It is about a real human/spirit being. Thank God we all are not judged by our worst actions – hidden or seen. Thank God that the Great Divine knows no judgement – even when “man” does. I believe in redemption. I believe in natural consequences. But, above all I believe in that amazing redemptive power of the human heart & spirit!

Stanley Williams was once lost in his own ill mindset. When he was faced with the light of knowledge / opportunity to see another way – he took it. He recreated himself. He reached his heart, mind, & spirit to God & he humbled himself before the divine. He was transformed. Because of this, he transformed many.

No, it doesn’t erase all the years of negative he put out. But, all the years of negative also do not erase the amazing good he did. We are more than the sum total of our worst actions. For whom much is given, much is expected. I believe Tookie passed into the next life a free & transformed spirit!

I feel honoured to have learned about him & his journey.
