Difficult times can get us to think creatively. In the case of my family, it has been about spending a little time together even if remotely before bed-time - a time with can be quite variable and fluid for the mix of people involved. We decided to designate the earliest bed-time as the "common" time. The next order of business was to find something to do in that time that would be relatively peaceful. We settled on the idea of watching a short film together. I am the one tasked with the job of finding something to watch.
Apparently, my choices fall right around the consensus line so there is the least amount of resistance and conflict. Most recently we watched this beautiful rendition of The Old Man and the Sea. A story that everyone had read at some point in their life but the movie was still quite a spectacular experience and left each of us thinking about relevance of what we saw to our own life, the times that we all find ourselves in.
