Small Seaport Jetty at Sunrise
Description (Sapien Medicine Instagram): Take a small trip to somewhere else.
Received some bad news tonight, so decided to rewatch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as a sort of “remedy”. Even the soundtrack worths it. Alexandre Desplat has done a good job.
I have this mandala as my phone’s main screen background, since months (I know Samurai, we shouldn’t use 4658 mandalas at the same time but I count this one as a bonus). I had actually never really questioned to where it was taking me. I don’t know either which place has inspired Dreamweaver for the artwork (maybe it has been discussed somewhere). I was always getting a feeling of familiarity though, whenever looking at it.
I realized this while watching the movie: this mandala definitely reminds me of the scene where Benjamin takes his father to Lake Pontchartrain to make him watch the sunrise + probably other places buried in my mind + one of my dream places for my old days, etc.
But mostly, for me it’s all about what Benjamin says during that scene:
“You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”
Anyway…
