Age and appreciation

It always fascinates me that the young want to be older and the old want to be younger.  Maybe that is just the nature of the human condition.  Contentment of “what is” seems to be a lost art.  I truly only saw contentment when I was in the Himalayas and chatted with villagers in Namche. […]

Road trip

I realized the other day that basically we are all on this road trip.  A road trip through our life and the life of those who matter to us.  Like all road trips there are smooth highways, rough backroads, detours, breakdowns, running out of gas moments, new sights, old friends, new friends to be, some […]

Who remembers

The question keeps rolling around in my thoughts. Who remembers us. Who remembers what we did, said, talked about, loved, cared for, … what our deepest thoughts and dreams are and were. We walk this trail. We journey in this life. We experience the highs and lows and overcome the challenges.  Many of us have […]

Recapture the innocence

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.

Enjoying the moment

I watched as they ran across the sky bridge that spanned the wild animal sanctuary.

In the moment.  No past. No future.  Just now. When […]

The train

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 […]

A heartbeat

Think about it. The heart beats.  You take a breath. And life goes on. We take it all for granted until it skips or pauses or races or stops. So here is the message for today…feel the beat of your heart.  Be present with the glory of this miracle. Then appreciate  the heartbeat of another […]
