According to Buddha

Aging has its own beauty. It is a beautiful stage for doing inner work. You have a chance to not be so dependent on social approval. You can be a little more eccentric. You can be more alone. And you can examine loneliness and boredom instead of being afraid of them. There is such an art and a possibility of aging.

i’m going way past tomorrow
way past yesterday

i’m gonna go so far
’til my sense is lose
all trace of space and time
going so far ahead
’til there’s nothing left behind
