Tombstone was a favorite movie of mine…
Tombstone was a favorite movie of mine. Doc Holliday, played by Val Kilmer, was a character of Shakespearean dimensions, powerfully memorable. This scene is forever etched in my memory. For indeed time has shown me that ‘there is no normal life, it’s just life’ so we need to get on with it. Recently life’s finality bitterly brought me back to that reality. I have ‘come to believe’ we are all called to live life fully, Love openly and intensely, join the Dance as we become what the Good Lord intended for us to be. So even in our sadness we must ‘get on with it!’ For in the end we may all die with ‘our boots off.’ In the meantime lets join the Dance…Carpi Diem!
Also see my earlier post about Doc Holliday. Doc was a dentist like the famous western writer Zane Grey which piqued my curiosity. In the previous post Doc Holliday’s biography was mentioned. His real story is more fascinating than the movie version. He was a complicated highly intelligent man who in the end stood for GOOD!
