And now, The Human Condition # 77

WHAT IF I DIDN’T KNOW?

The man next to me was the same age, just forty five; we stood watching the children play soccer, my son, his grandson, but he had on a sweater, his shoulders were rounded and his movements slowed. He looked exactly like the grandfather he was.

Fast forward some years to a news’s segment: a 100 year-old man celebrates his birthday with a bungee jump. They made him take out his teeth before going up; and yes, he had a great time.

Because a simple belief can propel us directly into a retirement community or a life of laughter and bungee jumping, here is the first question: If I did not know how old I was, how old would I be?

That odd query leads us to another of greater import: What could I do if I didn’t know that I couldn’t do it? How much fun would I be having with art if I didn’t know I couldn’t draw? What about dance, sculpting or car repair?

How many wonderful desires have been lost in the haze of our child-hood can’ts; what blissful wishes from those years as a teen; or what day-dreams of today are hoping to be taken seriously?

You have thought of one, haven’t you? More than one? Really?

Sadly, there is an avalanche of reasons for continuing to live life as is, for not stepping up to give ourselves the time of our lives.

And only one valid reason for leaping over that daunting wall of cant’s.

….. I want to.
