May 2024 Aurora Borealis taken from my home in Graham WA at 12 a.m.

Natural Phenomenon -- Life Happening

Some cultures and storytellers draw parallels between the ephemeral beauty of the Aurora Borealis and the transient nature of life and youth. This natural phenomenon is deeply intertwined with the cultural narratives about life, death, and the passage of time. What a lovely way to connect with the eternal dance of youth and the wisdom of age!

I didn't know that I'd ever have the opportunity to experience seeing this amazing sky illumination. I thought I'd have to go to Alaska to see it. But guess what!?  I didn't have to go anywhere!  All I had to do was walk down our driveway to the street.  It was an amazing experience beyond anything I could have imagined in my mind.  I could feel the movement of the colors and shapes across the sky.

You may be wondering how in the world I'm connecting the Aurora Borealis event with our upcoming Topic Inquiry on Aging. Aging is a natural biological phenomenon -- a process of change over time.  Both the Aurora Borealis and Aging are natural processes that involve transformation. The aurora changes and evolves just as living organisms do over time.

Truth or Dare -- Act Your Age

Have you ever played the game Truth or Dare?  If you choose "truth", you're asked a question that you must answer honestly.  If you choose "dare", you're given a fun or challenging task to perform.  

Remember when we were kids, an adult would tell us "Act your age".  Of course, the intention was for us to stop doing whatever we were doing and to act in a way that matched a certain age-image.  But think about it now, at whatever age you are now -- are you acting your age? What does that look like to you? Is there a template or something?

We'll be exploring the mystery of this natural biological phenomenon called Aging from a perspective that includes the mind, the body, and the spirit (or soul).

Check out the two photos below

I'm probably NOT acting my age at 36 or at 73 years old.
