Boom-de-ya-da!

Would you think it crazy if I told you that there is a silly little Discovery Channel commercial has the power to get me choked up (every time)....

Or that the first time I watched this commercial I had tears streaming down my face....

And for some inexplicable reason, I find it moving beyond words?

And I think those who know me well can vouch for the fact that I am not the type to cry at the drop of a hat.... my darlin' sister on the other hand... sorry Fel...you know its true!

I was tempted to try to explain why it is I love it... the sense it gives you that we truly are a global community, that we are bound together by a common quest for understanding.... that the world is greater than we are as individuals.... and that it is a never ending source of inspiration...

And yes, as a matter of fact, my Mother and Father were 60's flower power hippies!

But regardless....

What am I talking about?

This....



BOOM-DE-YA-DA!!!!!!!
