I’m watching the last 30 minutes of Totoro…

There was this part where Mei-chan & Satsuki planted seeds into the ground.
the seeds did not sprout even after a while, and both girls were getting restless about it.
one night, Totoro was spotted near the area where they planted the seeds, doing a ceremonial-like dance in which the girls joined in.
Almost instantly, the seeds grew tall and dense! (that moment felt really good).
the next morning… when both girls woke up, the trees were not there anymore, BUT! the seeds sprouted seedlings!
Satsuki jumped and exclaimed in joy, 「夢だけど!」(Even though it’s a dream…)
Mei-chan did the same but said, 「夢じゃなかった!」(It’s not a dream!!)


“Totoro” gives me a little more strength to believe again.
I want to be like Mei-chan, a child who views the world through the faculty of wonder.
I want to be able to say 「夢じゃなかった!」.
oh… and I love her dad! The way he believes his daughters is magnificent.
a loving daddy…
did I forget to mention the soundtrack? one word – Breathtaking!
