Ageing
As much as age is a wrinkling of the skin and a greying of the hair, it is a stretching of the mind and a colouring of soul. Ageing is to be joyfully embraced, despite what the commercials try to brainwash us into believing. Your age tells the story of who you are, what you’ve done, where you’ve been. It is a fascinating story, compelling in its details, every twist in the tale worthwhile. You need to be proud of your age, even while you refuse to let it define who you are. For age is never static, never predictable. Age is the flow of time. And the only age that is real is the present. Your true age is now. Why not celebrate it? Now.
— Wayne Visser
