Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?~~~"Glitter In The Air"~~~PINK
I was watching this movie Saturday night, 22 October 2011, on one of my HBO channels. This movie has been on the schedule for quite some time already, but mostly because it looked like one of those animated Pixar Movies directed toward the children, I had always declined viewing it. But then again, a light would go off in my head reminding me that many of these PIXAR Movies are, in effect, morality-plays for adults. And of course, it is Saturday Night. The sports cable networks are punctuated with college football, boxing, soccer, and sports talk-shows. On FOXTV, is the World Series, already in progress. What do I do??? I decide to watch HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. As It turns out, this animated movie had many adult themes.
There is this one theme; in effect this one scene, that so unequivocally captivated the powerful transformation of "Falling-In-Love." That~~~Magic-Moment, if you will---when everything else in the cosmos moves in slow-motion.
As I watched this, I did get choked-up. This is--what all women want. They don't care about the physicality of a man. A woman is hard-wired to have their breath taken away. They want to be swept off of their feet.
Men and women, from the beginning of time, have found themselves brought together by fate, happenstance, circumstances, and the time/space continuum. But what separates these happenstances, and the sense of Destiny enveloping us---is this epiphany.
This is what happened to Astrid, the temperamental, impatient, and feisty young lady aspiring to be a Viking-warrior of the Village of Berk. In terms of the future for the Village of Berk, as the next generation protecting their homeland, Astrid viewed Hiccup apprehensively as a liability---not an asset.
In the inter-activity of these two, through-out the first part of the movie, there exists this constant tension; this constant need to demonstrate their value---to themselves, and the community in which they are a part of.
A woman doesn't want to just exist. She wants definition, meaning, and a raison d'etre to be walking side-by-side with the man of her dreams.
In this scene that reshaped my understanding of this exquisite moment, and had myself privy to the oracles, it was so because I had taken that metaphoric bite of the fruit from the tree of knowledge, and the mystery had become a baptism.

For Astrid, Hiccup was transformed from an also-ran, to the master of his fate; the captain of his soul. In that magical moment where all of the cosmos took on an euphoric vista, she had had her breath taken away; she was swept off of her feet. With Hiccup taking Astrid through the proverbial looking-glass, and onto the magic-carpet-ride with Alladin's genie-lamp in tow, Astrid had now meta-morphed into Hiccup's Forever Destiny. She was no longer just a mortal lady, but now possessed a transfigured immortal soul. Her very essence was now filled with a pentecostal spirit. She was redeemed; she had everlasting life, and it was reflected so emphatically, as Astrid & Hiccup both soared through the air, Astrid's arms securely wrapped tightly around Hiccup, saddled atop Toothless, the Night Fury Dragon.
Astrid would now be willing to place her hand in Hiccup's, and together, travel To The Ends Of Time.
