The Ageless Experiment

Within an hour we ran half a mile, did 20 pushups, 20 ring dips, 200 jumping rope, 100 kettle bell swings, 100 air squats and 45 sit-ups. What a way to start the day. Drained, sweating, invigorated and ready for the day. Never give up. Never phone it in. Keep making the effort. You are […]

The house was patiently waiting once again. It had been over a month since it was filled with us. Like a lonely alone friend it beckoned us in. We turned the key. Turned the water back on. Turned the a/c back down. Turned the fans on. Switched the lights on and the house became a […]

I remember seeing our dog, when he was getting ready to lie down, circle and turn and circle and turn some more, then move a bit to the left or right and get ready to lie down and then ,just before he did, would not. He would then take a few steps and start the […]

Slip sliding. Time. It slips slides away. Slipping away. Each moment. Sliding away. I read about her passing. Just saw her a month before. Young. In the mix of the day. Now slip sliding gone. She was always upbeat. She was so present. So vital. I don't think there was an angry bone in her […]

The reunion. The gathering. The reconnecting. The revisiting. The detaching from the present and journeying back to your earlier self. Are you still investing in your story. Are you still dreaming. Are you still committing to what can still be. Set aside time for the reunion with you. Toast your journey. Plan the next leg […]

Is there a line of demarcation. A moment of separation. A division from what was before and what was after. That event when before you were one way and afterward you were no longer that one way. The line of change. Abrupt. Forever different. A rebirth. Usually a challenge met and faced boldly by you. […]

95 today. If. But for. 95. Yet 56 is the reality number. 39 is the difference. 95 less 56 is 39. 39 years ago. How do you measure a person's life. Numbers, years or the space the person filled for the time the person was here. How was that space occupied. Family, friends, learning, sharing, […]
