"Modern man still is anxious and tempted to surrender his freedom
to dictators of all kinds, or to lose it by transforming himself
into a small cog in the machine, well fed, and well clothed,
yet not a free man but an automaton."
Erich Fromm
As one grows older, perspective changes and the view master expands landscapes. Things once important fall away and replacements may be valued in wisdom and not so much in currency. The concept of abundance extends bringing a sense of balance to our so called wealth.
Once we craved objects beyond our reach or quests beyond our means that are now lost in memory. Our reach eventually becomes extended to the stars in the sky or to the hand of a child. Yearning for duplication of body mind and spirit is replaced by creativity leading us within. Visualization brings forth dreams, hope, and joy.
When we are young, we minimize the natural beauty of the world. When we are older and less intense, our minds are filled with the colorful intricacies of the world; we enjoy a connectedness; and we are often times highly inspired to become more of our authentic selves.
