Keep Dreaming

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     I have written about the idea of age, what is age? Of course the number identifies how many years one has lived, but I wanted to think deeper about the idea of age. There is chronological age, but also mental age. Sometimes we might act, think, behave, at an age that is not normative of our chronological age. This thought also suggests that there are various stereotypes associated with age, and also how one is perceived. We can think about those stereotypes that are attached to identify teens, and also to adulthood. However, as one ages this does not mean that one should stop dreaming.

    Should one cease to dream because of the responsibilities that one has acquired, or because of an age? In my opinion, I don't believe that this should be the case. While of course we should give care to the responsibilities that we do possess, but this should not mean that we give up on the self. When we seize to dream, we seize to live. Constant re-making of the self must occur which begins with dreaming, it is how we continue to live. Even though physically we see the identifiers of age, it should never mean that you give up on the self.

     Beauty arrives with age, maturity, and the physical signs that can also be associated with youthfulness. While outer body we see the signs, inwards our spirit is at full bloom, because we have reached a point of knowing the self. Knowing who we are. Rather than a spirit ageing, the spirit evolves. The beauty of this is that we can, and should be able to return to the child-like state of wonder, to ponder, think, reflect, find new ways of seeing the ordinary. Without this we fall in to the trap of doing, being, and fulfilling the needs of those who could care less about us. 

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
