Decide…choose

Is it going to matter?  When you look back did it matter? Did it make a difference?  It. You. Your life story. The choice. The deciding.  Sooner or later you look back. When you do decide now to live your future history with purpose   It comes down to living outside your singular tale   […]

Does the center hold

Throughout our history we have been tested by many negative, dangerous, and challenging moments. At the same time as these challenges have occurred positive, thoughtful, and courageous voices and individuals have come forward.  Whether these courageous ones were always there waiting to address the challenge or the times created them it is unclear.  It is […]

5 breaths. What would you do

Breath.  In and out.  The difference between life and death.  The singular breath.  One. Yet we ignore it as if it was our right. As if it belonged to us and we could take it or leave it. Breath is a gift.  A treasure.  A blessing.  Without it we cease. Think about it.  Now what […]

Don’t you miss it? Don’t you long for it? The uncluttered, unhurried, uncomplicated, un24/7 everything, unnews, unbusyness. Just the un of what passes as important today.

There is this train.  It is never on schedule but sooner or later arrives.  The station is right always where you are at the moment it arrives and your ticket is already punched. Some passengers are young and some not.  But here is the key….enjoy where you are at any moment in time.  Because you […]

And in conclusion

I have been writing The Ageless Experiment for years now.  I have tried to express the concept that time is the ultimate asset. A gift. We are a fragile player in this cosmic story. So… use your finite time here to be kind, give yourself and each other a break from our human frailties. Laugh […]

Time

In about a month it will be 2 years since my quintuple bypass open heart surgery. I was talking to a friend about that and he said…where does time go! Exactly.  Where does time go?!  Then again we can say that about anything in our lives.  You sit with a friend and talk about events […]
