The world we live in is steps away from any number of factors that could cause your life order to be disrupted, to explode, crash and forever change the way we look at life.

Daniel DeSure’s “Wouldn’t it be nice” explores the themes that come to light when society is examined under the context of this knowledge. The fact that there are millions of people all moving through life trying to avoid collisions.

These same principles inherent in space flight, the takeoff, navigation and landing, can apply directly to our lives, if only in that crashing becomes a eventuality, not something to be avoided, but to understand the ways in which we can minimize their impact on our lives, ways we can crash and continue going, the idea of spirituality, contemplation, and more superficial material remedies such as the new car, new house, new coffee machine, new girlfriend, and new drugs: things we use to soften the blow.

Acceptance of the turbulence brings about a new way of living, one where crashing isn’t the point, moving and stopping, crashing going again, are all part of the same process and seeing that enables one to travel a more constructive path.
