Seniors

I half apologetically, half proudly say, “nothing”. Of course “nothing” includes gardening, cooking, knitting, etc. But a lot of people wonder why I don’t travel more. I used to be a good traveler and thought I would do a lot when I retired, but now it feels like a waste of time. In the words of Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks, “All the news we hear is full of grief for the future. But the real news inside us is there’s no news at all.” I’m spending my time paying attention to the real news inside me. That takes a lot of nothing.
