So to say it again, here I am at 60.
As I travel through my years, I definitely notice changes within as well as any outward changes.
Each ‘chapter’ of my life has contained challenges and beauty. I often ask, what is it I can glean from this situation? I also ask, what can I leave here and move on from… because that often feels as important.
rupi kaur: timeless
they convinced me
i only had a few good years left
before i was replaced by a girl younger than me
as though men yield power with age
but women grow into irrelevance
they can keep their lies
for i have just gotten started
i feel as though i just left the womb
my twenties are the warm-up
for what i'm really about to do
wait till you see me in my thirties
now that will be a proper introduction
to the nasty, wild, woman in me,
how can i leave before the party's started
rehearsals begin at forty
i ripen with age
i do not come with an expiration date
and now
for the main event
curtains up at fifty
let's begin the show
I guess I feel like the curtain is always rising. There is an opportunity all the time to show a new joy, a new pursuit, a reinvention of self, or resurrection of of a buried idea or dynamic in my life. I hope you feel the same way, because I would like to see all of you too!
