"Remarkably Bright Creatures..."

Remarkably Bright Creatures, with Sally Field. This is a recent, and very tender and touching film that touches our humanity, partly through the eyes and imagined, artistic thinking of an octopus. It is a very good movie, as it wanders into the differences between our multiple generations right now, our thinking and behavior. 

Each younger generation has something to offer the world and its older generations; but collectively, we need to remember what we have learned through the years of former generations. Our humanity, our weaknesses and strengths, our life and even our deaths, is worthy of constantly exploring and examining as we each seek to grow in our own life. 

What is life, really?

There is a tenderness we can have as we relate to others in life, realizing that we do not know what anyone else has been through that day or in their life. The simple but profound rule of life - DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU! It holds true repeatedly through life. 

The older one gets, as a privilege and a reward, there is a realization of how short life is, and how precious it can be. And often when we are younger, we do not really understand what the “older folks” are really saying, until we find ourselves saying those same things as we get old! How special it is!

God Bless You All!
