Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
My husband and I went to a matinee yesterday to see "RBG". It has all the elements of a great film: heroic lead character, terrific love story, tension and politics. Justice Ginsberg is tiny but mighty. And her success is a team effort with her adoring husband. How refreshing to see the man behind the woman instead of the woman behind the man. And she had her tragedies: her mother's death when she was 17, her husband's early cancer, and then his final bout. She clung to the law like a life preserver, and her faith in the constitution guided her conscience. She was beautiful, as well. Her love of opera, shared with Scalia, is legendary, and I see how her life mirrored opera in so many ways. She's "notorious" now, admired by young women everywhere, and enjoying the fuss. Her granddaughter shows us how inspiring it is to be witnessing this remarkable woman age, but not decline.
