Continuous

 

 

I was watching “Before Sunset”

The middle film of a trilogy

About love, connection

And the journey of life

 

In the movie

Ethan Hawke has a thought

That he expresses 

To his reunited friend Julie Delpy

 

Life’s hard

It’s supposed to be

If we didn’t suffer

We wouldn’t learn a thing

 

It struck me as true

Something I’ve heard before

But it also made me wonder

And think about the future

 

When does the suffering end

How much do we have to learn

And when are we allowed

To put the learning into play

 

Maybe it’s all continuous

Suffering, learning, growing

Making it all better

Just like relationships
