Poetics of Aging

“We talk about the prime of life. What is that? When is that?… We continue to mature and develop, especially emotionally and spiritually, until we die. Imagine if we could not wait to get old, like a child can’t wait to be an adult? Imagine if we looked at each day as another opportunity to deepen, mature, grow, develop, become an elder? How stunningly shortsighted, then, to view aging as decline! Aging allows us to keep writing the poem we call our life.”
