GRAND Magazine - September/October 2019 - 12
ageless living
Because Silver Disobedients are already one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-replicated,
freewheeling, original-thinking, rebel-with-a-cause, adventuresome, fabulous-fighting,
observant, crazy creative character, lovable-being, gift to the Universe, independent,
valiant superhero-in-disguise, child of God, appropriate, picky, certainly different, intelligent, extraordinary, unruly, dependable, charming, fair, fearless, encouraging, reliable,
memorable, exuberant, humble, conscientious, cultured, significantly special, loveable
and enlightened beings. (Just to name a few.)
And as many of you have shared, the 50s and beyond are accompanied by an unanticipated element of excitement-a newness and sense of freedom distinguished from
any earlier time of our lives. Our cumulative years are a catalyst to release energy that
allows us to blossom in entirely new and unexpected ways. We grow into the versions of ourselves we've always wanted to be. We're getting comfortable with shedding standards of our younger years that no longer hold any meaning for us. We're
relinquishing the need to question ourselves, or our wants and desires, and entering a
stage where we aren't as worried about societal norms as to "how we're supposed to be
or act." Suddenly, age is revealing itself as a
more free-spirited time-in much the same
way that youth is idealized to be - yet rarely
is - because youth is so often a quagmire of
insecurities for many.
I believe that aging, in essence, is the
evolving process of getting to know ourselves more deeply and with greater acceptance and kindness over time. This is the
foundation of Silver Disobedience.
Of course, wrinkles and certain personal,
health, financial and other challenges
will accompany aging. But having now
read hundreds of thousands of detailed,
heartfelt responses to my blog posts, I
can firmly declare that most of us are
very glad to have lived long enough to
get wrinkles, and we recognize it would
have been worse to not have had the
12 GRAND
SEPT-OCT 2019
opportunity to deal with those wrinkles-in-the-plans that life delivers. The majority of us
feel that we are honored and happy to be alive. We're all our own version of a one-andonly creation.
I invite you to join the Silver Disobedience community - via Facebook, Instagram
and SilverDisobedience.Rocks - where you can connect with others as we all share our
reflections and meditations on life and relationships while we continue along this fantastic journey.
