The Human Experience Page #7

out there in the world

And get destroyed,

But then you can always come back

And rejuvenate

and to recuperate

And to get healing

back at your home

And that your parents

will always love you,

But I never had that,

you know?

The family is the project

of the human person.

The family is the space

in which human life begins,

In which human life

is nurtured and cherished,

In which an individual

first learns

What it is to be loved

by being loved,

What it is to have dignity

By having that dignity

extended to them.

The family stands as a very

unique institution worldwide.

All other institutions

are essentially there

To support the family.

# all day

# since your haircut

in the morning #

# you have looked

like a painting #

# even more than usual

That was really

drilled into us.

Everything was family,

extended family.

Community is where you

can find kind of where you fit.

By giving yourself,

you find yourself.

# seems to know

I miss my dad #

# and he smiles

through the limbs #

# we talk easily with him

# until the rain begins

# this is the brotherhood

of man #

# this is

the brotherhood of man #

# this is the brotherhood

of man #

In this sense,

I think the family is critical,

Because the family

not only forces but provides

This extraordinary place

which is our first experiences,

Which is our

strongest experiences,

And which has been

the environment

In which we have

come into the world

And first experienced ourselves

and the world.

# at the airport

on my suitcase #

# a girl traveling from Spain

# became my sudden friend

# though I did not learn

her name #

# and when the subway dimmed

# a stranger lit my way

# this is the brotherhood

of man #

# this is

the brotherhood of man #

# this is the brotherhood

of man #

# I never can say what I mean

# but you will understand

The family sets up boundaries

that are very different

From any other relationship

in the world.

Whether the family has been

a place of security

Or insecurity for us,

It is a place that we

continually have to turn to

To know who we are

and to, in fact,

Try to figure out

how to know these others.

I'd like to know

what's new in his life.

And I would love to tell him

what's new in my life.

You know, I'd love

to exchange that.

You know, I want

to share my life.

He is my father.

I respect him.

And you know what?

I still love him.

No gray hair.

How old are you, dad?

Well, I got it over here.

- Yeah, a little bit.

- A little bit.

I don't use nothing.

Wow.

It's been ten years.

Yeah, ten years.

Ten years,

my little...

My little jeff.

Abooga boogoo.

Oh, man.

What do you do now?

I work at restaurant

right over here.

It's called manetta's,

and...

Just living life.

I missed you, dad.

What do you mean?

I still love you,

you know?

I know.

It's all right, my son.

Yeah.

I do the best I can,

but that's a part of life.

Something happens, you see...

I'm running with your mother

how long?

21, 22 years ago.

I made it for 20 year.

No, I mean, dad,

I forgive you, you know?

Thank you, my son.

That's the life.

It's about

the human experience.

And it's about...

it's about the beauty of life,

Like, all the good things

in life.

No matter what you went through,

no matter what happened,

You know, no matter

what happens in life,

Like, life is still good.

Life is a gift.

My little jeff.

The breathtaking reality

Of a new, unrepeatable,

Unprecedented adventure

of a human life.

# you must remember this

# a kiss is still a kiss

# a sigh is just a sigh

# the fundamental things apply

# as time goes by

# and when two lovers woo

# they still say, "I love you"

# on that you can rely

# no matter what

the future brings #

# as time goes by

# moonlight and love songs

# never out of date

# hearts full of passion

# jealousy and hate

# woman needs man

# and man must have his mate

# that no one can deny

# it's still

the same old story #

# a fight for love and glory

# a case of do or die

# the world

will always welcome lovers #

# as time goes by

# the world

will always welcome lovers #

# as time

# goes by

# moon river

# wider than a mile

# I'll be crossing you

in style #

# one day

# oh, dream maker

# you heartbreaker

# wherever you're going

# I'm going your way

# two drifters

# off to see the world
