movie/life

I was thinking yesterday how when I go to the theater to see a movie, I pay attention to every minute, because I know this is "special time" which has been edited for a special effect. Lately I've been watching my daughter, who is one and a half, and thinking this is a similar, not to be repeated time, that is also part of a developing story. Every moment of life is unfolding for your entertainment and edification. (Richard Bach spoke of other aspects of life as a movie in his novel Illusions.)
