Never Walk Alone (Documentary)

June 8, 2015

You may need to watch this twice. Tears will get in the way the first time. Prediction.

Young teen Jack Gallagher has had a hard life. No doubt. But somehow, it has not hardened his spirit. Finding sanctuary on the hardtop, Jack played every game for his mom, in the last pair of shoes she bought him, the CP3s…until they no longer fit. Well, Chris Paul III got wind of that story and… just watch. Oh, man. THIS story.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
– On Joy and Sorrow, From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

Very appropriate literary piece for this E:60 piece. It’ll make even more sense after you watch.
