At This Moment
I’ve done a lot
And accomplished very little
That seemed to be the theme
Of a film I screened recently
Brad’s Status
Which I had to pleasure of screening privately
Not because I knew anyone special
Just because I was the only one in the theater
It provoked a lot of thought
For a middle aged guy
Somewhere between here and there
Seeing opportunities missed and the roads not taken
It touched on many matters
Relationships
Family
Friendships
Mortality
Things you ponder
As you move through life
For me they were road marks
Looking at Relationships
Well I have an ex-wife
So that didn’t go so well
Then or now
And then there was Julie
Which one
It doesn’t matter
I seem to have fucked up on both
But with family
I’m blessed
Mine is great with so much connection
And I see so much goodness
Friendships
So many
In every shape and size
A plethora of love and understanding
Mortality
The one we all share
And again I’m so lucky
Because I am well
At least at this moment
And that’s the only moment that counts
The one you are in
The place that you share
The film tried to show
How little things matter
And love is around
Even when you don’t think you’ve done much
So look around
Double down with your lover
Reach out to your family and give them a hug
Call an old friend
And be thankful for what you have
It’s not so hard
But sometimes it gets a little foggy
But then a brisk breeze clears the day
And you can again see the sunshine
And smile
