5.9.16 Turn and return

Sometimes as we wake up in our morning and go to bed at night, surrounded by our 60's and goals and health and struggles, we ourselves make our efforts to increase our own vitality and simultaneously wonder how our own lives are going to play out. 
Sometimes when, as in the case of Maurice Sendak's life and death (2012) , I save the recorded interviews of someone resolute and human and interesting. 
We study how they lived younger and how it was for them, older, and then nearing death, when some know this is in actuality true, 
and then through personal connection or media, they share that part of their path with us. 
And we say to ourselves and each other " Oh, ok. So that's what that part of the path sometimes looks like." 
And then we turn and return to our own.
