So I’m sitting in a
little theater in a little town watching a sixty-five year old movie that I’ve
always liked play on the big screen. I never imagined this could occur and I
found it quite by accident. After the movie is over, I walk over to the trendy
coffee shop and sit down next to all the people trying to be trendy. The Dao is
never trendy, it just is, so maybe that makes it trendy…I don’t know. I walk
out into the street under the old looking streetlights. Cars pass, people
laugh, dogs bark. This must have been real small time life so many years ago.
Now it is more of a modern re-creation of small time life where we can lose
ourselves for a brief time, thinking we can escape the insanity of real life.
