SUNRISE/SUNSETRemember the song 'Sunrise - Sunset' from the movie "Fiddler on the Roof"?   Born out of the early 70's (1971), before that it opened on Broadway in 1964, it was nominated for 10 Tony Awards and several Acadamy Awards.

The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each daughter's choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. (from Wikipedia)

If you have not seen the movie I encourage you do it.  We can really relate this to the 21st century and the family and values that are currently disappearing.

I always felt it was interesting that 'Sunrise' came first in the title of that song - life brings many 'Sunrises' to us.  We all have our 'sunsets' in life but lets rise up again and watch thesunrise 'sunrise'.

 

 

 

We actually saw an intersection sign similiar to the one above in our travels during the last 44 years.  I do not remember where or when - and I'm hoping maybe someone out there can help me place it.  I remember there was a church near this intersection and I remember thinking how appropriate that was because of the theme of the movie.

Mary, life is full of beginnings and endings, and thankfully the beginnings happen again. It gives me great solace when endings happen. They can be sad. Sometimes though I am glad for sunsets as it is like a clean slate arriving thereafter. Don't know where that sign is you are looking for.

Mary, I am sorry I cannot help you on the intersection, but I did enjoy your blog.  I am raising two daughters, ages 6 and 3 and I have always wanted to read Fiddler on the Roof.  From your description, it sounds similar to the way I feel about my family.  I am constantly trying to block the ridiculous norms and mores of our current culture from my girls.  Life pushes too much on kids these days and it doesn't seem fair to them.  Anyway, I guess everything has its cycles and hopefully common sense and values come full circle here real soon!
