ReflectionandImaginations Wendy Martin

Most of our lives we have vague thoughts about old age, and for a while it does not worry you. You are too young, active, busy, preoccupied, and the old age happens to others. Then, suddenly, it seems like it’s not that far away. Finally, one day, it strikes you and revolutionises your ideas. Not many years or months left, not many hopes to do something interesting, nowhere really to go like you used to do, free and footloose and the life starts to feel like a cage.

Many a time I feel that I have to reduce hopes, slow down on ideas, see reality and think about the last days and death. How is it to happen is the question. Hopefully, unnoticed and fast.
