Hello 75

Hello 75!       

This is the beginning of what proves to be a month of celebrations, libations and most of all, illumination …

As my 60th year rolled into place I began to realize that what I had achieved until then was only the ground work of that which was yet to come.

I say this with both anxious anticipation and a bit of trepidation.

Who knows what lies ahead and does it really matter all that much?

I for one have found in my journey through time and space that the more we prepare for the unknown the less ready we are to accept it, and yet it must be entertained if we are to understand it.

Much as the young boy who stumbled forth rather awkwardly, trying hard to find his balance, in later years that balance can be challenged again.

Crawling, walking, running, and stumbling are part of the game. The secret is to embrace them for what they are - tools and lessons - and use them to your advantage. It is obviously most important to be aware of our limitations but knowing they exist is the best way to brave the gauntlet. 

So at the beginning of my75th sojourn through this beautiful and complex thing called life, let me be completely honest in saying this  - it doesn’t ever become easy, but the journey is more than worth it!
