You make it sound as if you are in both in your seventies. This post reminds me of that Simon and Garfunkel song with the lyric about how strange it is to be in your seventies. You're not that old.

We ARE harbingers of the evolution of mankind: freed from SOME material concerns in this rich land, we can focus on what matters. Nice having the time and space to spend quality time with you! --Allen I think my increased calm and centeredness is not because life has kicked me around but because it hasn’t — how lucky we are to lead lives that allow us so much time and space for spiritual development.

Shiver me timbers! What a curse! I make sure to tell all of my nieces and nephews (yes, I am that kind of aunt - fun and cool but weird) that it does nothing but get better.
