"I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever
altering one's aspect to the sun."
Virginia Woolf
As a person ages, he or she releases things that no longer feel important....business suits, skate boards, and old manuals. Interest may be lost in some things, but the mind may use space and time to focus on one of life's many mysteries.When we are no longer chained to routines of career or family, our mind broadens to entertain what was once unthinkable. Our interests expand into wisps of thoughts once perceived in a day dream. One begins to relearn the art of freedom by watching children or enhancing the spirit through prayer, meditation or nature.
As I age, my mind has been eliminating Robert's Rules of Order and Society's Expectations of Etiquette. Without the binds of routine, my time keeper is the sun. When it is hidden, I tend to stay indoors creating or reading or meditating. When beams shine down upon me, I day dream and speculate outdoors with the wind, trees, and singing birds. Either way, I am busy redecorating my inner world.
