Your everlasting summer and you can feel it fading fast...Steely Dan
So there i am late into my 66th trip around the sun. I'm walking on some uneven ground at Tuscaloosa River Walk. I find myself listing a little as i walk. But this can't be true! Must be that little old man that keeps blocking out my true reflection when i look in the mirror.
I think there are two kinds of older people. Those who are young for their age and those who are old for their age. I appear to be somewhere in the middle. (That's three) Oh well.I know folks my age who can run circles around me. But some i can still lap. Of course after heart surgery i think i'm doing fairly well.
Seasons don't fear the reaper...Blue Oyster Cult.
So i'm at that season now. I honestly don't fear the reaper. I do worry about becoming decrepit. I've always known we are here for a season. Even losing my religion didn't change my confidence that love wins. But boy is it a
"Long Strange Trip"...Jerry Garcia
Books: i was always a voracious reader. I haunted my Public library from my youth. Fiction, non fiction, the paranormal pro & some con, religion. Horror novels and some mystery. I used to wonder how people developed a worldview if they didn't read. But now?
Maybe it's my eyesight which makes it harder to enjoy reading. But i think it's deeper. I find it harder to focus on any one thing. Also i'm constantly checking X (formerly Twitter) facebook and YouTube. Texts & messages. At least my collection of unread ebooks don't take up physical space.
TV: i was raised on TV. But if i plop down in front of one now i'm bored to death in no time flat. 200 channels of the SSDD. "Same sh.t different day." I start checking email, social media and ebooks and podcasts. As for movies? I ain't got time for that! I gotta check my email
Sports: Now i've always enjoyed being at a baseball game more than sitting watching it on TV. So no huge surprise there. But i found myself bored watching football this year. If it was a Bama game i was locked in. But otherwise just skip to the second half. Basketball? If they had a channel that only showed the last five minutes I'd be there. Otherwise? Not so much.
But the NFL has redzone and that's perfect for my attention span these days. MLB has a baseball equivalent so that's good.
Youtube has old tv shows and scenes so that helps with TV. Walking while listening to audio books & podcasts is good and i can still play my guitar and pull up concerts from the good old days online.
She in all her magic. With hands as quick as light took him to be a challenge and went into the night...Stevie Nicks "Highwayman"
I was thinking today about moments of magic. A bright sunny day when in my youth i could taste the energy of the day. Starry nights where you look up at the sky and wonder about souls, eternity and past lives.
Mirrors on the ceiling. With pink champagne on ice. And she said, we are all just prisoners here, of our own device. ... Eagles "Hotel California."
No doubt that my reactions have often determined the course of my life. I know crap happens. But i've often found myself in situations of my own making wondering why God let that happen.
So i try to give others room to mess up just as i ask for room to mess up.
This is just a little rambling and no real deeper message. I just sometimes wonder how i got from 16 to 66 so fast!
Thanks for reading my rambles.
Peace!
Dan
