I remember, as an early twenty-something, seeing the movie through the lens of possibility and eros. There was some sadness, yes, but mainly the story struck me as one of relationships between daring artists and thinkers.
This time I saw it through a different lens. This time, I saw it through the lens of understanding just how long - and how filled with fear and sorrow - the road leading to a single moment of grace can be.
And how that single moment is always, always, worth it.Follow @nicole_mcinnes
you know.....I don't know that i accept that. there are two ways to look at life..one: Life is a collection of amazing experiences separated by dull or sad moments. two; Life is dull and sad most of the time and on occasion we get that tremendous high of a successful, enlightened moment...that passes too quickly. if we are all headed to death...which is it? a single moment of a graceful death? OR, many single moments? hmmmm...today is a day to reflect that is for sure
ReplyDeleteHmm, only two choices, huh? Bummer. I guess I'd have to cast my vote for the first one, although the second choice seems all too often the one that wins hands down.
