This was very helpful for a 69 year-old who thinks her body should look different than it does and always thinks she should have a way of eating that would make my body look different. I like the autumn leaves and thinking of my body like that.
Yes, I love that metaphor for aging, Kathleen. We don’t honor the colorful, vibrant, wise older people that we have with us enough. And if we can think of our own aging as a beautiful part of the lifecycle, then we don’t have to be forced to defy it.
