Great piece as always. You put your thumb on it when you mentioned control, imo.
Living in the present requires surrender and oppenness, and often it’s easier to just control a situation rather than allow. As humans we (or at least I) don’t like ambiguity
But the fruits of ambiguity and surrender are often the most valuable.
Though, to play devils advocate, there is something beautiful in living an experience and just allowing it to be what it was.
“We’ll always have Paris” —Casablanca
Or the themes Lost in Translation explores.
Sometimes an experience is beautiful because it is transitory
It’s a delicate balance but I think it goes back to the route of your premise. Living in the present with grace.
This was so very beautifully written. I’ve never seen these movies and now they’re on my list!
