Having just experienced the solstice and the December full moon in southern Pacific Mexico... and being a writer for over 45 years... we contemplate the cycle of life, as it never ceases. What catches us up is the disconnect between indigenous wisdom and modern. There are just things that can not be controlled and shouldn't. Fear or grace can blossom in this chasm: likely both.

Joe knows. Yes, indeed. Great post.

In my opinion, mind ages when accumulating knowledge just as the body ages by exhausting its resources and once it does that the will to live decreases. We forget to marvel in front of the beauties surrounding us because we already know what to expect about them. We’ve seen it all so many times before. From this perspective knowledge is a blade with 2 cutting edges… 😉 and life, well it kills the worn out shells to make room for young souls still capable to marvel and learn…
