Readers' blog: Wisdom of years allows for better life experiences

Getting older need not be a frightening experience. Now you have the experience of having encountered, and of making mistakes, learning from them, and then moving on.

Readers' blog: Wisdom of years allows for better life experiences

Getting older need not be a frightening experience. Now you have the experience of having encountered, and of making mistakes, learning from them, and then moving on.

With age comes the slowing down process. Again not a bad thing, as most people seem to be like headless chickens, running around at 100 miles per hour, and going nowhere.

Now you think before you act, and having thought whatever it is through, you can say “damn it, who cares?” What people think about you becomes irrelevant; you simply haven’t got time to pamper to their egos.

Nature takes on a brand new perspective, as you realise in spite of all the power-mad freaks on this earth, it is still a wonderful place to be part of. The dawn chorus of our feathered friends, as they sing their love song to the morning dew. The rising new born sun each morning telling us we live another day. The flowers opening their buds to embrace mother nature, as she weaves her universal magic in our own Garden of Eden, dear friends old and new.

The beautiful memories of those who have been called to the other side, never forgotten, and we keep them alive in our hearts and our mind. We all come in with nothing and yet all rich and poor depart with nothing. To where? Who knows? Just another journey, as we pass through on our karmic learning curve. We are just here for the ride. Spiritual hitchhikers, on a pilgrimage of transcendental consciousness. We are pure energy balls of light, and our poor old bodies merely a vehicle to protect the inner sanctum of our temples.
