True to Age

"If, as you age you become more still ...."

“If, as you age you become more still, you will discover that stillness can be a great companion. The fragments of your life will have time to unify, the places where your soul shelter is wounded or broken will have time to knit and heal. You will be able to return to your self. In this stillness, you will engage your soul. ... (T.S. Eliot) ‘And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And to know the place for the first time.’”

Many long hours

given to reading,

Forgotten pleasure

reclaimed, when TV

powerless and dumb

from power failure.

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions ...."

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinions;

it is easy in solitude after our own;

but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd

keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Living the real life

What is the real life?

It’s living the truth

None can maim the truth

None can change the truth

When you live the truth

You live the real life

And the truth is not a lie

And you do not live a lie.
