We Live
I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.

What a great wordless tribute. I still think about how Bergman and Antonioni, two of my favorite filmmakers, passed away within 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteI quote an article of yours in part 1 of my Antonioni tribute.
Hey, thanks. Pet peeve I cannot shake: in your post, you cited me as "Ryan" instead of "Ryland". I shouldn't care but my whole life people have been either mispronouncing my name or mistyping it or misunderstaning/mis-hearing it. Nice tribute you got there, too.
ReplyDeleteCats sure are cute. I sure wish I wasn't allergic to them. Otherwise I'd have one, probably.
