Dear Beloved Blog Readers,
I just saw the most wonderful film at the Vermont International Film Festival.
It's about a real girl in Maine. Pleasant, totally quirky and queer kid that knocks the stereotypes of 'blind' and 'autistic' off the charts. She is in the midst of a movement called "Unlearning Normal".
I hope you look it up and send her a line via the movie's web site. http://www.bestandmostbeautifulthings.com/the-film/
We audience members got the joy of skyping with her after the screening.
I asked how the movement is going and she said "existing is my focus right now".
We all need more than that.
Reach for the stars!
On we go.
Fondly,
Mark Following in Helen's Footsteps
