"The truth shall set you free." <BR/><BR/>I have panicked over many things: loss of money, loss of strength, loss of time, loss of opportunities. <BR/><BR/>Amazing that every year my birthday passes, I become less poanicked. I find out what the truths are. I see the beauty in me, and I am no longer bothered as much by scales of time and accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>I need meditate more often.

The first 2 days was weird, but by the 3rd day, I was enjoying myself. That started my long bus rides (hehe).<BR/><BR/>Einstein wrote this to his friend: "I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity." <BR/><BR/>Let's celebrate our ripening!:DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-62758668874088391392008-09-17T18:13:00.000+08:002008-09-17T18:13:00.000+08:00Hey, Luna!

The most astonishing thing now that i'm ancient (hehe) is that i can work in a focused way without the need of turning on the radio or listening to music! When I was younger, that was just unheard of!<BR/>My mother always say "I am as old as the universe and as young as the rising sun." That's her mantra and I think it works for her :-)!<BR/>Another friend (a Scottish lady) would use to whine that she's getting old but since she did the Tai Chi and went into the mantra of "let go", she says now that she's ageless! Celebrate, my friend!

And yes, as kids, we dreamed of spontaneous freedom, freedom to be good and freedom to be bad. Only to learn that freedom has its responsibilities and consequences. Bummer! :-D So I continue to be childish in other realms of my life. Who knows, it might be the secret of the 40-somethings who remain delightful to the senses (haha).<BR/><BR/>I’m sure you’re proud of your scars, after all every winner has scars. One poet even wrote that “the most massive characters are seared with scars.”<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-35712445664313296192008-09-16T21:50:00.000+08:002008-09-16T21:50:00.000+08:00Beautiful piece.

I believe it was the freedom that age would bring. I would finally be free to experience and do things.<BR/><BR/>I learned a lot from those things and I bear the scars from some of them. But I still think that I'm a better person now because I went through those experiences. I feel freer in a lot of ways than a lot of people I know of who stuck with the straight and narrow path in life. <BR/><BR/>As for the beautiful 40-somethings you mentioned, I'm so glad that the women in my generation are doing one hell of a job taking care of themselves better than women of previous generations. :)Panaderoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404619097665070778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-45793733586423754582008-09-16T17:56:00.000+08:002008-09-16T17:56:00.000+08:00Bonjour !Très joli pont...Dangereux, non ?Bonjour !<BR/>Très joli pont...<BR/><BR/>Dangereux, non ?Webradiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865729926365127073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-90122300187014289382008-01-14T14:02:00.000+08:002008-01-14T14:02:00.000+08:00Be optimistic, bertn, and keep checking!:D Thanks...Be optimistic, bertn, and keep checking!:D Thanks for visiting again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-71096829529579452042008-01-12T21:36:00.000+08:002008-01-12T21:36:00.000+08:00It is so obvious but I never thought about it unti...It is so obvious but I never thought about it until you mentioned that the alternative to getting old is dying young!
