Time is short. Such a trite statement, and what a shockingly valid observation. I can think of a myriad songs from the '60s that speak to the brevity of our existence: "Wasted on the Way," "Dust in the Wind," "Fly Like an Eagle (Time Keeps on Slipping...,)" and no doubt there are countless others that are echoing in your mind and you read this. Back in the day, 27 seemed to be the age when rock musicians succumbed to drugs. Lately, it's 69, and this time it's all about age. We're closing in on the end, folks.
So, what are you doing today? Is it meaningful? Loving? Valid? Worth expending your breath? As we approach the third act, time matters. Most of us still have our wits and mobility, to a certain extent. I want to use it wisely, and perhaps, at times, even recklessly. Travel. Play. Experiment. We still have the opportunity to get out and be.
So what holds us back? Okay, sometimes I feel too exhausted to venture beyond my cozy walls, worn out from the sad and sorry forces that have eaten away at my confidence. You, too? Perhaps it's time to move on. This whole cautionary approach is a waste of our lives. I'm not going to hold myself back from any experiences that present themselves to me any longer. Logistics play a role in our day-to-day lives, but other than that, I'm going to strive to be open. See you out there.
