Like you Cecil, I gained access to all our home movies that were transferred originally from 9mm to VHS, and then VHS to DVD.  I've got all the old reels which I might try and get a cleaner transfer from one day.

Seeing myself as an infant through to about 7 years old produced a profound feeling in me.  In a bizarre way, that child I had totally forgotten about, was the thing I had been searching for my whole life.  It is like I (whatever it is that I am) loved that boy so much, I chose to become him.  This is hard to articulate, but I've read Alan Watts talking about a similar thing.  That at the top of the mountain - at the end of the great spiritual pilgrimage, there is nothing but a mirror.  Seeing those old movies was like looking into that mirror and remembering what I'm supposed to be doing.
