Les Miserables



Part of who I am (ref. blog from yesterday) is that I have a deep passion for Les Miz. I have experienced the musical three times in London. Up through the years, when the kids couldn't sleep, I would comfort them by singing a Lullaby; There is a castle on a cloud. I also like to play it on my cello.

But back to the Who am I quest. There are particularly three songs in the musical that addresses the deeper questions about being a person with integrity:

"What have I done?"
"Who am I?"
and Javerts song before he committs suicide.

It's about letting love transform life - or not. And it is about doing the right thing for the right reason. If fascinates me, provokes the thought, and inspires me.
