You're welcome Kenny, just calling it like I hear it. Was wondering what gear you were using on the the earlier tele tones in the clip.
About aging, prunes a good idea if needed, and wanted to share some geriatric perspectives with all you guys, for what use it may be worth, and at the risk of driving the thread off into the left field. Other helpful hints any may have would benefit. Could say this is about software because if we are deteriorated too far, can't use the software.
Getting old ain't for wimps, and either you die young or go thru the process. No one reading this will escape. So it's less hoping we live forever and more about trying to manage a graceful exit. You young dudes will be there in the blink of an eye, so maybe something here you can file away for the future.
In the social sphere, trying to get some level of sustainable economic coverage is important, meaning the likes of food, clothing, medical and shelter. Chaos in these realms can destabilize everything else when your working life is done. Means plan ahead if possible to secure the physical base.
If these elements are in place, then to work on going out with joy even if the physical body is torn up after decades of wear and tear.
Have been in the healthcare field for awhile now and have seen trends worthy of mention.
First trend is like said, all alive will die, but we can do things to make the descent more or less miseable.
Could go on about diet, but we are killing ourselves with our forks. Intake as fresh and vegetarian as possible. Right amount, quality versus quantity.
Periodic fasting to clean out toxins.
A couple certain killers, maybe 3 certain killers.
Overweight. Slim is better for so many reasons, and the medical norm is too heavy.
Immobility. Stop moving in ancient times and something ate you and took you out of the gene pool. Again, many resons rooted in our physiology that demand physical activity.
Inflexibility is a killer. Over time we turn into biological cement causing every kind of problem. Aerobic movement is critical but does not address invading inflexibility.
No offense intended, but get yourself involved in a good yoga program to return some semblance of flexibiity to the body.
Mental struggle, as in continually learning things. Good news I feel is that most here are artistically and technically involved in that aspect.
Spiritual life at the core. Creator, no matter what you call Her or what saviour you cling to. Seeking communion with the core, the common thread, Source. Activities in daily life that seek to serve the animate and inanimate environment, actions that surrender our personal ego for the sake of something greater. Penance taken on cheerfully for the service of others. Prayer, meditation, introspection, as locally prescribed.
Just my 2 cents.
