Please take a few minutes to watch this twelve minute video.
It is delightful and engaging.
The Old Man
An old man lives alone.
He fishes for his dinner.
He dines alone every evening.
He copes with the rising water in his home.
Everyday he builds.
The Old Man’s Pipe
One day he loses his pipe.
The search for his pipe leads to encounters.
Each encounter reveals a part of his former life.
The toast to his life and his loves.
The Old Man’s Life
His is a journey shared by many.
We build and build again and again our small houses.
We build and build again our lives.
Perseverance and persistence.

That is such a sad video. I suppose we have to do our best to enjoy every moment we have. Nothing lasts forever.
