Twelve Nights of Christmas: # 11, Sagacity.
Think of yourself as an elder who has learned from the trials and triumphs of experience. What are some profound lessons?
Think of myself as an elder? I only have to stand in front of my Prenatal Yoga classes to see myself as an elder. Many of the women are younger than my son!
I don't think profound lessons really exist. It's all about remembering: where we came from, why we're here, and what we're supposed to do.
When we paddle upstream, kicking and screaming and find the answer, it must be profound. Otherwise, we've wasted so much time.
As an elder, I would say, "Go downstream! It's simple, yet a challenge to imbue. You came from Joy, you wanted to experience it in physical form and you will return to Joy."
Imagine a stadium full of people urging you to go upstream and a small chorus inviting you downstream. Life is the dissonance, your journey is the result of your choices: stadium or chorus? upstream or down? Measure your success by the degree of happiness in your life. Rejoice to the sounds of your heart and not to the screaming masses.
