What Moves You?

By: Natalie Josef (View Profile)

Every time I listen to the John Lennon song, “Imagine,” I am deeply moved. My throat gets tight and I begin to tear up. If I start singing the words, I start crying. I have listened to that song a million times and it always happens. Seeing or hearing about animals suffering also upsets me—especially polar bears. What moves you to tears? Is there a song, movie, or another image that overwhelms you with emotion?

I am especially moved when someone shares an intimate sentiment with me. For instance, when a friend reveals thoughts and experiences about loosing her mother and her dads reactions to their mutual loss. Such as in this one situation, the dad remarried and from that time on, he acted as though his first wife did not exist, nor that his children longed to hear his stories and memory's of times he had together with their mother. This kind of experience really tugs at my heart as I have had a similar experience with my dad since the loss of my biological mother at age five. I would be interested in hearing of others who may have had this experience as well.

Serendipity. There's nothing more wonderful than falling into a delightful surprise when you least expect it. The song (You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman always moves me when I either Carole King's version or Aretha Franklin's version. It's an anthem over 40 years old. It's always good to feel like a natural woman & feel good about who you are. Sometimes it takes someone else to make us realize how unique & special we are.

When my niece reads to me.
a story i read where 1 straight acting male complained about his straight acting lover who cheated on him with his "friend" (who may or may not be a female) And now they both are using him as a "doormat",(because he's too weak to let go) and how much he is "SUFFERING" while seeing the man he loves with someone else. But "both men" are still in the "closet" so neither one is comfortable "coming out" so he has to "suffer" in silence. That story really moved me, so much so that now I "really" have trust issues.
the "dehuminizing" treatment of animals,
seeing a "WEAK PERSON" being mistreated by someone who's "STRONGER"
certain songs, certain movies, slavery.
