I agree completely, David. In our desire to be sages before we age into it, we are disappointed we aren't all that by fifty, or whatever. Those are cycles. By your age, by this age, with any luck we see differently, and of what we see is what just no longer matters, and what does. I think that the closer we get to the end, perhaps the closer we get to truly beginning.

Huh. Where did that come from? Sure wasn't me.
