Aging Gracefully
Aging Gracefully
Reproduction with Beauty
This is a reproduction and it is a beautiful piece.
I agree with all except being FAT.
Practically everything else is what I say and practice.
It is related to Moment Meditation (MM) and that is all what we all have in common and not taken care of.
If every one enjoys the present moment this world is going to be a wonderful place.

One does not need to be old to practice it.
Unfortunately Wisdom comes too late to enjoy.
I have some proviso's for the elderly, though.
I give the physiological reason afterword.
1. Don't have a big booze, especially one for the door.

I give the physiological reason afterword.
1. Don't have a big booze, especially one for the door.
2. Don't come out when it is freezing cold outside without adequate warm clothing.
Drinking cold beverages is an equivalent scenario.
3. Staining at stools is one of the bad predicament for the elderly.
Which is bit more complex than a cold drink.4. Don't walk against the breeze.
4. Don't walk up a hill with heavy luggage in both hands.
5. Enjoy your sleep especially the dreams.
6. Don't do vigorous exercise without slow and gradual warm up (this applies to young, too).
7. Alcohol causes vasodilatation (that include coronaries, too).
When one comes out after the one for the door one is exposed to cold weather which triggers intense vasoconstriction which shoots up the Blood Pressure.
This combination is bad for both heart and brain.
Trigger Heart Attacks and Strokes.

If one is predisposed it will also bring about heart failure and pulmonary oedema which compromise everything that one had enjoyed inside.
Others also have similar mechanisms except that the exercise can bring about

8. Asthma in the predisposed especially the cold air which start the episode with cough.
9. Bottom line is keep warm and avoid scenarios of excessive vasodilatation and constriction.
10. Enjoy what is left of life. No procrastination. I would do it tomorrow.
Sorry for the preamble but enjoy what is below which is very beautiful writing.
If you have time read my dreams and their interpretations in this blog and elsewhere.
I have already two volumes in Amazon (both print and digital).
Most of them are futuristic and when one retires, one can be happy that we are leaving this world at relative peace.

In future with global warming and food scarcity, would will have a very Big Impact to which America, India, China, Brazil and more importantly UNO is not ready.
They are putting everything under the carpet and think some of my environmental prediction will never will come.
It is like ostrich hiding his head under sand.

Reproduction
Reproduction with Beauty
As I've aged.
I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself.
I've become my own friend.
Reproduction with Beauty
As I've aged.
I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself.
I've become my own friend.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.
I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful.
But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten.
And, I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken.
How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car?
But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding and compassion.
A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning grey to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive.
You care less about what other people think.
I don't question myself anymore.
I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old.
It has set me free.
I like the person I have become.
I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be.
And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).

Dream 25 and its interpretation
Dream 25
I was in an air port.
This airport was different and I had to purchase the ticket from the airport counter itself.
There were lot of other people queuing to by tickets.
Lot of them looked like refugees trying to enter a new country.
I had one heavy luggage and a light handbag.
Somehow I managed to get a ticket for the immediate flight.
I checked the heavy luggage in a hurry.
Then I entered an area which looked like the departure lounge but looked very primitive.
I went into a gate to inquire and they checked my ticket with the only computer they had and said I have to wait for another 9 hours, for the flight.

I went into a gate to inquire and they checked my ticket with the only computer they had and said I have to wait for another 9 hours, for the flight.
When I asked why?
I was told that the pilot had not reported for work.
I felt strange.
They then told me the real departure lounge is a walking distance away from where we were and there are no taxis to take you there.
It is a nice walkaway, by the side of the Hotel International, I was told.
Since I had a very light hand luggage, I decided to take a stroll.
I walked passed the hotel, thinking it was only a joyride.
Moment I passed the hotel, I went into a heavily buildup area and lost my way.
I asked a passerby to show me the way and he said go straight and down.
I went up straight and ended up on top of a steep wall and there was no way to climb down.
Then by stroke of luck I found a side walk which was dirty and rickety.
With difficulty I finally reached the bottom which led to what looked like a street market.
There were lot of people who were doing lot of road side buying and selling.
Quite like, London in medieval times.
I felt I had been laid the wrong garden path.
To begin with, I lost all my belongings with my heavy luggage at the entrance of what for all intents and purposes was a bogus airport.
I was frightened and woke up immediately.

Posted this to Maha Brahma after the dream 26 was posted, thinking this has no relevance to it.
Maha immediately responded and asked me why this was not posted with the other.
I said I did not see any connection.

Interpretation
He said this has a direct relationship.
You will know it better when I expand on the story.
In your dream 26 I said one has to follow 10 points.
YES.
If Sri-Lankan do not follow those instructions to the letter, what I am going to say now will happen in about 50 years, he said.
Things are not rosy in 50 years time.
Why?
Can you guess?
Global Warming.
No.
Global warming is already set in and it won't change.
I think so.
It was only yesterday my pet fishes were almost cooked to dinner from direct sunlight.
All of them were floating on top of the water and I rescued them in nick of time and put them in some buckets that contained cooler water.
Had I come half an hour late, all of them would have been dead.
What did you do afterward.
I changed the water with some cool water I had collected for an emergency.
Then I covered the top and side with black plastic sheeting.
Fixed a new filter.
Put the air compressor on full throttle.
Did your fish die?
Thank god, not this time!
I checked the indoor temperature later which was 90 Fahrenheit and outside was probably higher.
Fish die at 84 F and it was touch and go scenario.
Can you have a second guess.
No fossil fuel and no planes.
That's right my boy.
In fifty years from now there are no fossil fuel and no airbus industry.
The airports built now will be idling and the industry that were built around them will go bankrupt.
Soon the the jungle take over the periphery.
But there will be few animals and the entire elephant fleet in the jungle is not more than fifty.
They roam in 5 to 10 in a herd and go violent moment they see humans.
Since humans now do not have jeeps or vehicles and have to travel by foot elephants do not fear humans anymore.
They rule the little vegetation that is there.
Global warming has caused untold misery in this country and it is no different from Dubai where England now play cricket with Pakistan.

Why did you interrupt my dream?
If I left it for another five minutes you would have lost the hand luggage and, you thought of hiding in the jungle nearby.
Had you entered there for cover the elephants will trample you to death.
I had to intervene for your safety.
Can you tell me where this place was?
The name is something like Hambantota.

I got it.
See you soon.
OK.
