Yin and Yang

You can lose and you can gain- all at the same time

In some aspects- as we age, life becomes so much more harder/harsher – yet on the other hand, it becomes so much easier/ a contradiction on itself. So much so, that it’s on automatic pilot and you feel like you’re missing something that’s needed to be accomplished- and yet that’s probably not true! Almost damned if you do/damned if you don’t. You may even overthink a solution, for a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s like crying tears but for good reasons. It makes sense and it doesn’t…

It’s hard to differentiate, a recent dream from a de-ju-vue. Are we getting senile or is there just so much information we’ve retained, it takes longer to source it out?. Like filling your house with objects and the deciding to downsize. Life is so complex and it is also so simple .It’s really quite clear and sometimes very confusing- it all depends on the mood we’re in, at the time. I guess what I’m paraphrasing is: ( a famous quote) “what lies before you and what lies behind you- are tiny matters, compared to what lies within you”.
