Are we feeling a bit introspective with the turn of summer?
Interesting....

I've been wrestling with similar thoughts lately. Maybe, at 30, I've done what I'm here to do ... and the rest is just watching other folks do their thing? No. I refuse this. I draw my metaphor from nature as well: Many of my flowers are blooming now. They bloom and then the flowers fade, but the plant is vigorous and leafy all summer. Why? It's building a root system, storing energy so that it will come back the next year with more flowers.

Then again, that fits neatly with my recent Buddhist kick.

Nice.
Personally, I feel life is like being in a river with a swift current. But we are nt completely at the river's mercy: we can still swim.
It's just hard.

Nice! Creative, if a bit morbid for one as young as yourself... :)

only cultivating chi can kick old age's ass. it is hard work, but it is better than the alternative (sitting in Owl Farm in a wheelchair, taking Desert Eagle to own head, etc.)

Or playing ultimate. You always look like you're about 30 if you play ultimate, not counting the knee braces. :-)
