g w Jan 26 The documentary made me sad from the outset. So symbolic was the birdcage with the little birds inside. William Blake once said a bird is born for joy. How can it sing its joy inside of a cage? Firstly, if you choose that life then OK that’s your business. Secondly, to cage birds because they symbolize your own constraint is really sad and cruel to another species. See more karen s @PearlGirl 01/22/2021 Heartwarming. Hart is beyond compelling, and her story makes faith tangible. See more 05/09/2014 Awesome film-I am glad Mother hart did not end up like Elvis and so many others. I understand why she left the secular world, the Abbey is lovely, and a great place to visit-anyone near bethlehem CT should go visit See more 04/03/2013 A beautiful story. Hollywood actress becomes a nun. Very tender and honest. See more 01/22/2013 So many kinds of love for the heart to follow, this shows you that.
