Growing old?
Or entering a new phase?
“It must be old age.”
Has become an abused phrase.
Feeling young
Filled with curiosity
Eager to learn more
Dropping animosities
Keep it alive
Don’t leave it all behind you
Summon youthful souls
Pay attention to what’s true
As one of the youngest in my family, or of a separate generation, and believer that we create our reality, I’m tired of hearing the blame on old age.
Old age isn’t a time to admit defeat or succumb to circumstances. It’s a new chapter of life. Change happens to challenge where we are and where we desire to be.
The drive to discover is within, even among the knowledge carried. It’s an individual responsibility to keep it alive, while accepting new developments. It isn’t only old age; it’s a new chapter to keep the spirit alive and discovering.

I am with you here in spirit, but too often my 72-year-old body tells me to “slow down big boy”! Enjoyed this Astrid… 🙂
