Thank you for including me in your list of elders and sages. I will be 78 in May but in my mind I still see myself as the beautiful youth I was in my 20s and 30s. I have never been physically active but my mind has been powerful. I don't think we should waste time on regrets (mine are probably about the things I never had the courage to do or I those I could have done much earlier in life). My body is now less agile and strong. My intellect less keen, less flexible, less patient but my wisdom is based on experience and gut feelings. I choose to love everyone, even if I don't like something about a person. Wisdom doesn't come with age - a fool simply becomes an old fool.
You’re delovely and delightful, Ray…don’t you forget it. As for the fool/old fool, I always think about the tarot’s major arcana. It starts with The Fool and ends with The World. Only to start all over again and do it again, and again, and again. The journey’s are familiar because we’ve likely been here before. Cheers on your upcoming bday!
We are a process, Clint, not a fixed static being. We are a work in progress. We are who we are today, not the person we were yesterday (let alone 10 years ago) and we will become tomorrow's self.
I think part of my process is convincing myself I’m fixed and static at points in time, but know that’s a mental construct…and that I change and (hopefully) evolve all the time. Think I’m gonna dust off my Tarot cards and see what’s coming up for me. Cheers!
A single card appeared from my pack for you. The Page of Pentacles. A gathering of energy is yours to be used for building things in the world and fulfilling the needs of your body. Small amounts of money will available to you to to be saved and nurtured rather than extravagantly squandered. You will take up new ideas or directions in your work and you may care more about your body to feel more pleasure and fulfilment. Simply take care, gentleness and time to bring everything to fulfilment. I love you, Clint.
I’m with you. At 52, I’m not far behind you…and still have to double-check my age every time I think about how old I am vs. how old I feel. Which can be younger or older depending on the day. lol

I like the Tarot.

Love, love, love it, Ray. Thank you. I feel very “page” like at the moment. Much love and light to you, dear one.
It's hard to think of myself as an "elder" but I guess at 62 I might qualify at this point. Thanks for the shout out!
