If indeed we get to take anything with us.... if there is anything that makes a transition with us it is probably wisdom. So the journey becomes inward... reflective... an opportunity to step out of the smoke of battle and consider the paths taken...and not taken.... There must be an unpacking of the bags that cannot come with us on our journey. And it is definitely a job for a writer... so take heart and continue to document the journey in your own unique voice. And as another commenter contributed... do not go gentle into that good night.

(I must have a REALLY alte neshama [old soul].)<br /><br />Old? Yeah, I'm old; so what?<br />That's my attitude, I guess. Age is just a number.<br />NOT in the (ridiculous IMHO) sense of "you're as young as you feel."<br />Rather, in the sense of "I can do this and that. I can think and function and love and enjoy and experience;" <br />and NONE of that has anything to do with age.Reuven Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084182179583406229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202996302446629175.post-85279513237150968912015-10-02T01:09:32.690-07:002015-10-02T01:09:32.690-07:00Both poignant and to the point David - but there i...Both poignant and to the point David - but there is still so much we have to do here - specially now that we have supposedly reached the age of wisdom and perspective....<br />Always remember: "Do not go gentle into that good night".....Micaelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202996302446629175.post-68445748231581030642015-10-01T04:15:14.240-07:002015-10-01T04:15:14.240-07:00A beautiful piece.
