Content. It's the end of a tumultuous movie where there has been death and many other tragedies. The main character looks across the horizon at the start of a beautiful new day with his hands in his pockets and the wind blowing his hair across his face. As the character's companion comes onto the screen, they talk of the future, of what they'll set out to do in light of whatever has happened. The main character's face shows neither happiness nor overwhelming sadness, but acceptance. Acceptance that things have happened and that things will continue to happen. Acceptance that there is always a new day and new things to experience in that day. Acceptance does not necessarily mean you are happy with the situation placed before you, but that you will take it for what is and work with it. Being content is this acceptance of life as it is.
Today, I am content
