I watched the first half of that program and then some people dropped in unexpectedly and I missed the rest. People NEVER drop in without calling. Agh. Most of what I saw was about the definition of beauty, the mathematics of it were fascinating. (that young model did NOT strike me as beautiful though) It was not a new documentary- I bet it was the same- I think this one was made in the early 90s.. By the way- I realized watching it why I cried at the mouse poem. (I wish I had a brain that was logical and could stay on one train of thought) BAckgrounds on several of the children in the program were included- you know how they do the human interest thing. One 6 year old came from a family where the father spoke no English, and mom was wearing what looked like a uniform from a service job (name on pocket thing). They were so proud of their son. ALL the parents were so amazed and proud, here were their children doing this remarkable thing- playing a violin! Parents want so much for their children and so many have to work just for food and shelter, never mind the enrichments. And we all try so hard. God, we try hard. And most of the time, we are just like that mouse, falling down steps, working so hard and so earnestly to protect and save our babies- and with just as little real power or grasp of reality at all. Well, I am just not doing well saying this- and it has nothing to do with Wallpaper anyway.
