Pedro Almodóvar is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who recently published a book called, The Last Dream. In an article about the book Almodóvar made this observation – “I have a problem with death now, with mortality. I don’t think ‘I’ve just lived another day,’ but instead, ‘I’ve got one less day to live.’”
A phrase came to me recently, “while we’re still alive.”
It is fascinating to consider how we view the day to which we awaken; while we’re still alive. We all know how tenuous life is as read about and experience loss.
Is our view of a new day as Almodóvar frames it, “one less.” Or is it, “one more?” Or is it something else entirely. Because how we choose to live this day is how we end up living our lives.
