r- Hell, I'm 59 and and still a work in progress...maybe still swimming in the river. oiy! do you want i should throw you a life saver already?? get out of the water! seriously, that was very thought provoking. life is, after all, a journey isn't it. you don't just cross over some line or arrive at some place and all is perfect - until you die, that is. the tempo might change, but that's all. what you were as a child, you still are. you've learned somewhat from experience, but that's the most you can say. i don't think i've changed at all. -r

When I come here to read ya'll it's beginning to feel that I have arrived into a different dimension. Kind of an Atlantis. Hard for me to put into words. Funky at minimum. Sioux

Altair~ For mice elf, it was never "one thing" but a series of crises (some really bad) and joys (really wonderful ones) ...each one, after is was over, slowed my life down. They were all incidences that changed the way I looked at life. That's pretty much how it has been for me too. The very sad things have felt as though they burned away another layer of my life and exposed something that was probably always there lying beneath. The happy events often led to new friendships or revealed new paths to be explored. Being both a hiker and a paddler, I tend to think of life as being a lot like trails through the wilderness or streams leading across the northern terrain. You just keep moving onwards, exploring the next part and the next and the next. I rarely think much about getting lost or turning back. The biggest decisions are about which fork to take, when to stop for awhile, and when to keep moving on. I try to just go with how I'm feeling at any particular time. I'm not much of a planner anymore -- had too much of that in the past -- so I like to live life in a sort of wandering way. The future is difficult (impossible) for any of us to know. These days, I'm thinking that I'd really like to go on an epic walk -- I've read a few online travel journals maintained by people who have walked across the continent or down the Pacific Trail, and so on. Our Trans-Canada trail is pretty much complete -- enough so to actually wander across the country, so I've been thinking of maybe walking a part of that sometime soon. The idea is beginning to grow within. Could happen. Might be interesting. Definitely an experience. (o: ~croc
