I recently watched "The Bucket List" with my family and I really enjoyed it. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend it although it is a bit sad. There is a little language in it and some other stuff to deal with, but all in all it is a solid film. Plus, I love Morgan Freeman. But that's not the point. At the end of the movie Carter writes a letter to his buddy Edward and this quote ends it...
"My pastor always says our lives are streams flowing into the same river towards whatever heaven lies in the mist beyond the falls. Find the joy in your life, Edward. My dear friend, close your eyes and let the waters take you home. "
I struggle with a lot of points in the quote looking at it theologically (obviously), but more than anything I enjoy the tone. Close your eyes and let the water take you home. It seems a bit like life is leading you somewhere doesn't it? Like life isn't just some random grouping of sporadic events thrown together in space and time to eclipse a span of 40-80 years. It's not as random as we'd like to thing. So I guess...where is life leading you? Where has the river of your life drifted by, and where exactly are you headed?
