losing loved ones, family, or having ones that are aging about to go to the other side.. and for many of us over 60, we can't help but to think now and again about the years past... and recognize we are climbing up that numeric ladder......wondering how many more years ahead we have.... how we have marked time in the past.. and how we want to live our lives moving forward with intention and purpose...
unfortunately, i spent a year and a half where i fought for my life.. bc the alternative was to be gone in two years.. because of that nothing is taken for granted, especially time... i want to grab life....love and live it to the fullest.. and create a life that leaves me with no regrets.....
I’ve always been drawn to the elderly in my image making... the wrinkles and scars like a historical map of their lives.. all the untold stories, a treasure trove of experience... i always seek to learn more about them..engage in conversation for small bits of their lives , as their thoughts give an extra layer of insight and a magnifier to what has meaning in the long run...
the jewish people use the expression L’Chaim.... to Life. the holiday of passover just passed.. celebrates freedom.. not just for us, but for ALL people.. what we do with that luxury matters... so..... to life.. freedom... and to loving each other to the fullest.. it's a gift ............of time
