THE NATURAL CYCLE: Although we enjoy the changing of the seasons, we act as if we were somehow separated from nature. We are not. We are nature. There is no duality. When I was in the Himalayas I wondered about the meaning of those majestic mountains. I asked myself what is the meaning of the mountain. I then realized that the mountain has no meaning…it is meaning. The same holds true for our lives. People ask all the time : what is the meaning of life or ,more pointedly, the meaning of "my" life. The answer seems to me to be the same as the mountain. There is no separate meaning to your life…it is how you live your life each day that is the meaning of your life. Your life and how you choose to spend it is the meaning of it.
No duality.
Therefore denying any season of life is a rejection of the very meaning of your life.
No matter the age…live your meaningful life. Be comfortable in your own skin no matter what texture or crease is there. It is you..in all your splendor. Rejoice in the acceptance of yourself.
This may be your first and last opportunity to accept yourself as a vital part of nature.Live large and free.
