  "do you know what you just wrote? if you wrote this any time before now i dont know if i would have understood. this is something that happens at a certain age. after a certain age or perhaps with a tragedy or incidence. the life music does stop. the music stopped for a lot of people during economic crisises. and you have to get in where you fit in. if you were picky and flighty all your life with friends, lovers, feeling life was endless before you. traveling everywhere, leaving your roots and source behind, you get to an age and a place to realize more is not necessarily coming. you only get one or so many in your life. really one...and if you jumped off it, that is it. it is gone. it is not coming back. and this is me writing. me who no one knows my age unless i tell them. people think i am beautiful, some stunningly so. i am still healthy, whole wholesome and athletic, folk talk about my beautiful skin, my skin being beautiful...and smart, salt of the earth kind of woman...phd, growing food...entrepreneurial...with all that talkent, skill and gifts. If i am writing this, can you imagine what i am really saying ? what you just said???
  
  this is a key. I am learning there are things to tell your children when they are young, this is one of them...
