A place where there is time to think
8/8/2001I’m free to climb down from—
Fall off of—
Get away from—
The ladder of success.
To a place where there is time to think.
Age 46 is the era of burning ash—
To begin to savor the life lived.
At 46 the harvest begins.
The antidote to anachronism in your own life is to notice, be, don’t join groups, Don’t watch TV.

Notes 6/24/2025
(An anachronism is something or a way of acting in the present that is of a former time. Example is writing a letter instead of sending an e mail. Or making a phone call from a rotary dial land line phone instead of from an I phone).
I wrote the above antidote to anachronism when I was 46 in 2001.
I’m now 70. At 70, I am a living anachronism! I don’t want an antidote to it. But, more than that , I have come to realize that I am a pool of consciousness in our common “now”. We are all actually the same age in our common “now”. “Now” actually has an ageless feel to it.
Please see original 8/8/2001 journal entry in the preceding 6/24/2025 blog which includes the above transcriptions.
