Golden Words – The Beauty of Ageing
Posted by Syed Nayyar Uddin on August 13, 2011 in Daily Quote |
We live in a youth-worshipping society, but we are beginning to glean wisdom from indigenous and Eastern cultures who revere their elders. Age can bring a beautiful patina to the soul.
Those who choose to look at what they have gained from advancing years, rather than what they lose, generally have a lustrous heart and a gleam in their eye.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
–Dorothy Sayers
For the good of the whole we need to be uncontrollable and untamed in our efforts to invite the spirit of love to quench the thirst of our souls and re-green our world.
I am thankful for the wisdom, experience, and acceptance gleaned through aging.
I am an outrageous and untamed champion of love and learning
