One Of The Gifts Of Age

 They say that when you look back on your life from the other side of the veil it seems to have gone by in no time at all. In a snap of the fingers, a blink of the eye. Probably because on the other side of the veil there is no time at all.

I'm getting a foretaste of that now. 

As if my life were a landscape that I'm viewing through a powerful telescope. The events of seventy years ago, fifty years ago, twenty five years are all up close and in sharp focus. 

As if there were no intervals between them,

As if they were all happening at once. 

Our Quaker study group is going to be discussing ageing tomorrow- and this may be one of the thing I'll choose to talk about....

Time does feel like it's gotten more elastic but wasn't sure if that was due to advancing age or the weird isolation time of COVID.

Good topic to discuss!

Did we are following 10 commandments in our life?
