Very moving. "I've tried to stop predicting the future" is the best way to live mindfully in the present. I learned this by my Father's bedside during what would turn out to be the last month of his life.

‘I’ve tried to stop predicting the future. All I know is that it’s late and I’m not sure if this made any sense and I need to close my eyes. Then tomorrow I’ll welcome Allison and Em back home and we’ll embrace. And I’ll be a little more grateful for them and their love than I was a few days ago.’

Powerful as always Lyle. You’re work here always gives me some much need perspective when I find myself getting wrapped up in things that ultimately don’t matter. Thank you.

“What led me to this nanosecond in time?”

That’s always a fascinating question. All the choices we make and things we do lead us here. Even accidents, mishaps, and happy surprises. I think sometimes we need that space to get tapped back in.

Thanks for sharing.

I found this to be very profound, and by the end of it, my eyes were a little moist, when you said, "we all matter". Of course, it serves no purpose to spiral into what could have happened or how one change would have cascaded into a completely different series of events, but sometimes, we all tend to indulge in those thoughts. I wish you all the courage for taking care of yourself and your family.

What a beautiful letter. I can’t believe it’s been so long since Everything Everywhere All At Once released and I still haven’t seen it. Other than that, this was really emotional and vulnerable, Lyle.
