Before the advent of internet, cell phones, and Blackberries, many people from my “60′s generation found other ways to transport themselves to alternate worlds – and Alice came along for the ride too!

But as you said, some diversions are “fun for a while” but eventually I believe that most people get back to dealing with “whatever” needs dealing with to effect the necessary resolve.

Johnny Depp creeps me out. Big time. But, the lessons that you pulled out of this movie have now piqued my interest. I think I might have to rent that movie when it comes out DVD.

Many days I feel as if I am trying to avoid my life. I twitter, check my e-mail, blog, and do other things that help me avoid the mundane tasks that surround me. Yet, each of these things also give me the courage to continue working on these mundane tasks. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but my alternate realities remind me of how good I have it. I have been transformed into a mother who tries her best. Even if her best means sitting in a rocking chair, comforting a sick child.

Very timely. Seb and I were wondering if we should go see this (him bc it’s in 3D) and I wanted to find a review.

Look no further than LiP!

I am not a big Tim Burton fan so didn’t have this on my must see list but now it is!

I didn’t see it but want too. I have been trying to turn off my phone and be more in the now, its hard but I think I can do it. Your post really has me thinking about things I could change that might help me on that journey.

Thanks for the lovely inspiration to start my week. Something to keep me mindful.

I did not see the movie, and what I know about Lewis Caroll and his friendships with little girls creeps me out – but I love your last paragraph. I hate to see people ignore the real-live people they are with in order to take a call or read a text from someone who is NOT there. That is some twisted rabbit-hole behavior right there.
