Como agua para chocolate
A beautiful story from the film Como agua para chocolate:
"In 1669, Brant a chemist from Hamburg while searching for the 'philosopher´s stone' ...discovered... phosphorus. My grandmother, Morning Star, - she was a Kikapu Indian - ...used to say...that we´re all born with a box of matches inside. We can´t light them by ourselves. Just like in this experiment...we need oxygenand the help of a candle. Exept that in our case...the oxygen has to come, for example... from a lover´s breath. The candle can be anything: ...a melody...a word...a caress...a sound. Just anything...anything that pulls thetrigger...and sets off one of the matches. Every person has to discover...what will pull his trigger to enable him to live. Because it is the explosive flare of a match...that feeds our souls. If there´snothing to trigger the explosion...our boxes of matches become damp...and then we´ll never be able...to light any of them. There are many ways to dry a damp match box. You can rest assured, there is a cure. Of course, it´s important to light the matches one at the time. Because if an intense burst of emotion...were to ignite them all at once...they would produce such a strong brilliance...that before our eyes there would appear a tunnel...of such radiance...showing us the path we forgot at birth. The same path that calls us back...to our divine origins."
