It’s not all tribbles and sunsets, tonight goes deeper.
Field of Dreams is a movie chock full of great quotes, one of my favorites is less well-known:
Ray: “Oh my God….It’s my father…My God! I’d only seen him years later when he was worn down by life. Look at him. He’s got his whole life in front of him and I’m not even a glint in his eye. What do I say to him?”
Worn down by life…. simple but powerful imagery. The last few years I have felt worn down by life. But it isn’t life. It is the paths we choose. Paths can weaken or strengthen you. Many young people trudge along, while some older people remain full of life.
Paths… no matter how unhealthy, are difficult to leave.
Until you do.
