Mrs. O’Brien, “The Tree of Life” Ok, this is a true quote from one of my favorite movies.  But does it go far enough? Is it just another rendition of Summer of '67 idealism?  We all hummed along to this catchy song, after all, till it became the central messge of tolerance above all else that is so with us today. All You Need is Love There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known. Nothing you can see that isn’t shown. Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be. It’s easy.
