On Aging
Today I’m one day older than yesterday but still the youngest I’ll ever be. I’m also a whole year older than last year this time when I was the youngest I’d ever been.
So one can argue - not only thanks to my awesome Nordic genes sans fertile hair growth - that I’m not aging at all. I’ll always be the youngest I’ll ever be. Everyday.
At least I feel much younger then last year when I replaced my original hip with an awesome bionic titanium hip. Heck, I feel decades younger thanks to my iHip.
And as Mark Twain said: “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
But so many people seem to mind. Looking young has become much more important than feeling great. As a society we fret over it while we should be more worried about losing our creativity, curiosity and playfulness.
Life is only linear if you’d like it to be. It can be stochastic, random, crazy, volatile, ever-changing, surprising and awesome.
It’s simple: attention and energy matters more than time and space. Until it doesn’t and then it’s over. We are all blips in an ever evolving galaxy. Hard to really care about something that will happen with or without human intervention.
I live by Seneca’s wise advice: friends, freedom and thought. The rest is just noise in an universe filled with wonderful music.
PS. To Robert Plant who’s birthday I share with a lot of other amazing peeps.
