Your Bucket List Your Bucket List Is Inspired by the Movie “The Bucket List” Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman Your Bucket List Your Bucket list is inspired by the movie “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The main plot follows two terminally ill men on their road trip with a wish list of things to do before they "kick the bucket” (die). Be aware of your list of things you really want to do in your lifetime. Start today! Start working on it now. Starting now will allow you to accomplish more than you ever thought possible, rather than rushing around at a later point in life, when you have limited time. MAKE YOUR LIST. SET YOUR PRIORITIES. GOOD LUCK. HAVE FUN! A good way to do it is to set a timer and start writing everything down that comes to your mind, like a brainstorming list. By using this method you get over any thoughts of “can’t do”, “to difficult”, “to expensive” or similar. Right now it’s a matter of jutting down everything that you would like to experience, do, be or have that comes to your mind. You can prioritize and organize the different elements in the next step. Areas of interest to be considered: Places to see? Places of historic interest, beauty, spiritual interest, natural wonders or other interests? Things to do? Swim with dolphins, rock climbing, paragliding, winter bathing… Family and friends to see and spend time with? Friends or relatives you haven’t seen for a long time. New friends you would like to get in contact with. Projects to start or finish? Programs/Causes to support? Personal history to write? Book(s) / articles that can be written summarizing life experiences or knowledge gained? A list of regrets that can be resolved? Contacting people you want to give an excuse. Personal search for spiritual meaning? Start to meditate, join spiritual forums… Political cause(s) to support or champion? Do that good cause you have talked about for years but never done or find a meaningful cause to support. Learn a new sport or hobby or try a new activity? Start dancing tango or? Laugh every day, play with your family or friends, have fun every day. Take time to be alone. Be mindful and in stillness for several days. Enjoy a yoga retreat, a hike, a hot stone massage. Enjoy a concert with your favourite band or entertainer in a BIG concert hall. Add your own favourites… What are the things you have always wanted to do or say but have allowed fear or excuses to hold you back? NOW is the time to these things!

  • THE BUCKET LIST (Adapted from the Session Developed by Peter Bowden)
    THE BUCKET LIST (adapted from the session developed by Peter Bowden) OPENING WORDS & CHALICE LIGHTING: To Risk To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk exposing our true self. To place our ideas – our dreams – before the crowd is to risk loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. To live is to risk dying. #658, Singing the Living Tradition PURPOSE: We come together to build connections and to talk about what deeply matters. CHECK IN: What you share may be about your physical or spiritual health, cares or concerns for loved ones, issues you are facing. What are you leaving behind to be here today? READING OF GROUP COVENANT FOCUS: The Bucket List Each person in the group speaks uninterrupted; if time remains, general response and conversation are welcome. Background for this session: In the movie “The Bucket List”, a billionaire played by Jack Nicholson and a mechanic played by Morgan Freeman befriend each other in the hospital as they discover they each have only 6 months to a year to live. Freeman has a “bucket list” – things he wants to do before he “kicks the bucket”. Nicholson offers to finance the adventure and the two of them head off to tackle a joint “bucket list”. Questions for reflection: In this movie the two main characters are in a unique situation – they know when they will die, more or less, and they have the means to live their final days as they wish.

    LIFE STORY reel ambition How do you go from bridgemaker to filmmaker? Woodcliff Lake native Jon Doscher parlayed his construction gig into a chance to head his own movie company — and it all started with a box of cigars he sent to Jack Nicholson. You’ll never guess what happened next BY JIM WALTZER • PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN BLAISE Some moviemakers are born clutching a Saddle River–based “indie” is courting big May 2000, Doscher’s Restoration Co. camera. But long before founding the names and big dreams. And what’s even had a job at the Saddle River home of independent production company more intriguing is its artistic aim.

  • RELATIONS "This Is My Commandment, That You Love One Another (Ἀγαπᾶτε) As I Have Loved (Ἠγάπησα) You
    RELATIONS "This is my commandment, that you love one another (ἀγαπᾶτε) as I have loved (ἠγάπησα) you. No one has greater love (ἀγάπην) than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:12f There are several words in Greek for the one English word, “love”. I thought I would illustrate their meaning with reference to Hollywood. The first two words are Eros (ἔρως) which means to be infatuated with a person, an object or an idea, and storge (στοργή), which is familial love, the love of parents (and grandparents) for their children. Then two other words: φιλέω and ἀγαπάω. The first means to have a warm affection for another and the second, to wish one well. The ancient Greeks considered Eros to be dangerous and frightening as it involved a “loss of control,” as though to say, “I couldn’t help myself.” It is the appreciation of beauty both external and within. It’s what we view frequently on the silver screen. I would guess that most movies at the moment are romances. To be a success in my book they need to have a memorable musical score and demonstrate that “the path of true love never did run smooth.”1 The lovers need to fight, separate, or even die. I have chosen West Side Story (1957), Leonard Bernstein’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.2 The Jets and the Sharks are two gangs who are bitter enemies, fighting for turf in New York City. Tony and Maria, members of rival gangs, fall in love and sing: “Make of our hands one hand; make of our hearts one heart.” After the rumble, Chino who was engaged to marry Maria shoots Tony and he dies in his lover’s arms.

  • Black Cowboys: Ned Logan and the Portrayal of Blackness in Unforgiven
    Black Cowboys: Ned Logan and the Portrayal of Blackness in Unforgiven The Oscars, film critics, and viewers alike have witnessed and praised the plot and performance of Unforgiven for many reasons. Will Munny still stands as the first image that comes to mind when thinking about Unforgiven - either his concerned face, him riding his horse, falling into mud, or infamously killing the town sheriff, Little Bill. Will Munny stands as the face of Unforgiven, similar to how Clint Eastwood stands as the mind behind the film. However, after further watching, re-watching, and engaging in a close viewing of the film, especially as a Black viewer, Ned Logan becomes the most important and different character in the film to me. Analysis into the film (while having my personal Black experience as context) reveals both a dichotomy and a purpose that Ned, and only Ned, has as the only Black figure in the film. I believe these distinct characterizations of Ned relate to his Blackness and the lack of diversity on and off screen. With the context of film history, Black cowboys in the nineteenth century, and through my eyes as a Black film viewer, I center Ned and try to understand how his character speaks to issues in film-making as it pertains to Black stories. Ned’s dynamic in this film interests me because he becomes both hyper-visible and invisible as a character. Almost everything he does and says centers Will, making him a classic sidekick. At the same time, Ned’s guidance to Will, and even his death, single-handedly shape Will’s decisions and character development in the movie.
