As usual, on a Sunday Morning, I tuned into CBS's 'Sunday Morning'.
In the world of television with all it's various opinions, reality shows which are NOTreality at all and the stupid sit-coms, 'Sunday Morning' is a breath of fresh air.
I really miss Charles Karault but Jane Pauley is 'growing on me'.
I learn so many interesting things by watching that show. it's just good, basic facts which is rare to find these days.
Take that Silicon Valley exec who had a stroke. It left him mute and paralysized from neck down. Most people would just give up. But, this guy is playing cards, writing song lyrics and connecting with his grandchildren all through robotics. Amazing!
And, the strange little buildings in southern Italy with roofs made of layered stone (nothing holding the stones in place). Well, I wouldn't want to go inside (it might cave in) but what a unique idea. I wonder why they started building them like that...
We lived in Hawaii for a short period of time. And, I left there with a plumeria lei around my neck. I found out on ;Sunday Morning' that due to farm land in Hawaii being gobbled up with urban sprawl and the environment changes, Hawaii has a shortage of blossoms to produce those beautiful leis. As things do, that craft is evolving into using more stable items such as shells, bark etc. instead of the flowers. A way of life is disappearing there as everywhere else.
I wonder if you are still curious about the world, if you still love to learn things and too, if you are concerned about the amount of false information we are being exposed to?
I don't think we should ever stop being like a child, with open eyes, open heart and open mind.
Those ancient Italians didn't just start building structures that way off the top of their heads. They had some tech help from aliens, probably the same ones who helped the Egyptians and Mayans with their pyramids.
ReplyDeleteI love your take on ‘Sunday Morning’ it really does offer a calm, thoughtful perspective compared to the noise of most TV. Your examples show how small stories, like the man using robotics or Hawaii’s leis, can spark curiosity and reflection. Staying curious, like a child, is such a wonderful reminder.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Jane P. took over from Charles Kuralt. It was someone else. Kuralt used to do On the Road segments for the evening news way back when. When he died it was revealed he had two families and was a bigamist.
ReplyDeleteI always like Charles Kuralt. I haven't seen Sunday Morning in years though. It's on right when we are leaving for church. Sounds like it's still good!
