way emptiness empty
In very truth the days are almost free, and if it is another way of saying that our lives are empty, well -- there are days when emptiness is spacious, and non-existence elevating . . .
order support doe
Order, cleanliness, seemliness make a structure that is half support, half ritual, and - if it does not create it - maintains decency.
differences serious unexpected
Difference of opinion has never been sufficiently appreciated. It is the unexpected, the unknowable, the divine irrationality of life that saves us.
pain sky worry
The enchantment of the sky, ever changing beauty almost ignored. Beyond words, without fixed form, not to be understood, or stated. It ravished away dullness, worry, even pain. It graces life when nothing else does. It is the first marvel of the day. Even when leaden grey it is still a friend, withdrawn for a time.
gay brave balance
The crucial task of old age is balance: keeping just well enough, just brave enough, just gay and interested and starkly honest enough to remain a sentient human being.
life reality done
Claim the events of your life! When you posses all you have been and done, you are fierce with reality.
pain wonder
Is there any stab as deep as wondering where and how much you failed those you loved.
fighting atheism energy
Anger must be the energy that has not yet found its fight channel.
reality age together
You need only claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality. When at last age has assembled you together, will it not be easy to let it all go, lived, balanced, over?
discovery people age
I want to tell people approaching and perhaps fearing old age that it is a time of discovery. If they say "Of what?" I can only answer "We must find out for ourselves, otherwise it wouldn't be discovery."
death pregnancy birth
Is life a pregnancy? That would make death a birth.
age alive problem
as we age we are more alive than seems likely, convenient, or even bearble. Too often our problem is the fervor of life within us. My dear fellow octogenarians, how are we to carry so much life, and what are we to do with it?
knows known
To know another, and to be known by another--that is everything.
real solitude alive
I feel most real when alone, even most alive when alone. Better to say that the liveliness of companionship and the liveliness of solitude differ, and the latter is never as exhausting as the former.
