Give ... Do not allow thy self to be used;
Love ... Do not allow thy heart to be abused;
Trust ... Do not be naive;
Listen ... Do not loose thy voice.

Twenty years ago I was 55 and I was yearning to be more. Ten years ago I was 65 and I longed for deeper conversations. Today, I turn 75 and my physicality has very little to do with where my mind dwells.
The skin is sagging; weight has been gained; hair gray forever, and my bones no longer wish to jump; but, my mind is as inquisitive as ever. Curiosity pulls me forward, wanting to understand, perhaps, just one more revelation.
My physical body feels like a coat, protecting my inner spirit from the strong winds of relationship and under minding of society. Dedication to Virginia's Voice offers a connection between my two worlds. I tend to thrive in my spiritual world where skies are strung with stars and moon; while my outer existence bides my time before crossing back to home.
