What I Got at 55

Has time fled?  Well, not quite.  There were times when I thought it had stopped, that life would be the same every day.  Those were the hard times.

I like motion.  I like how time works on me.

It is fine to plod along.  We all do that to some degree, dragging our tails behind.  Some days are more gloomy than others, but it’s OK as long as I have faith that they will pass.

Jeanne Lupton and I talk about tragedy and comedy.  Tragedy is egocentric, focusing on the misery of oneself.  Whereas comedy allows us to see situations in a larger context.  We have to be able to laugh, most importantly, at ourselves.  For me, it does take some fifty odd years to get it.
