I am well into my 6th decade and as I look around me I realize I could with no stretch of the imagination be considered cutting edge. But that quantity of age does mean I might deserve a second look.
I have to admire those who
take responsibility for longevity, creating a concept that can last over time. An
older generation has, through experience, developed a logical methodology. They
have a proven track record. It is almost like the reassurance we gain from
having a belief in an omnipotent being that has a plan
I also know that there is
a wonderful freedom in consistently adopting change. With change comes a feeling
of dislocation, but that is necessary for the new to happen. A less structured
approach comes from the gut and from observation of the world around us. Nature
has a magic way of evolving and adapting to circumstances.
We need the world to make
sense when times are uncertain. We need to be disruptive when things become
boring and staid.
I believe that I have
experienced both of these extremes. So it turns out that I am old fashion and
out of fashion now. I will stay old, but fashion does come around. And being
both maybe is not such a bad thing.
