It seems we are at a moment in time when credulity is stretched to its limits. I don't think its necessary to specify.
I have myself been doing some stretching. This morning facing the river with its ice flows I was back to my rituals. Stretching to my toes and my spine I feel the edge of the stretch and stay there. A place of meeting, perhaps of pain, but of reaching and being still at the same time. In this morning's stretching I had the patience to be in the place of tightness and allow it to give way to something else; something softer with more room to move about. Finding that place can make time expand and last forever.
There are so many places in life where this lesson applies. It seems something therapists are inclined to promote with clients; being with the pain and making room for it to ease or change.
The film Call Me By Your Name has such a moment, when a father encourages his son to feel the pain at the end of a relationship rather than shut it out. To feel pain rather than shut it out is to remain human with all the joys as well as the sorrows. For life and its joys are fleeting.
