I have arrived at my final destination.  The journey has become the destination.  This is a recent awareness fully realized only within the past year or two.

This is it for me. I have accepted my lot in life, so to speak.  I try to live as comfortable as possible within its limits. I have the wisdom that acceptance does not mean surrender.

As far as dealing with my free time in my final years, after moving back to the beach became scratched from the list, somehow I achieved my other primary goal.  Which is immersing myself in music.  I now possess all the tools I need and have more music to listen to than I have time left.  Sure am glad that I left stamp collecting behind back in my childhood.

trying to paraphrase a meditation thought nugget:

wisdom is understanding that you don't have to hold your happiness for ransom until some future time when all your problems are solved

when your todo list is finally empty
when your desires get gratified
when your health is perfect
when all the news is good

whatever your goals in life the quality of the journey has to become more important than reaching your destination


you spent your entire life seeking to arrive someplace


what if this is it?
actually this is it in recognizing this his meditation

have you ever noticed that it is damn near impossible to find someone that you agree with on everything?

especially if you entertain and/or practice critical thought

i try to listen to a lot of different stuff but i'm often drawn to difficult and usually contrarian questions/positions when compared to mainstream narrative media/journalism

maybe intellectual honesty can be refreshing and painful (or so it seems)

gleaning for nuggets of wisdom is a way of life

some of this i find interesting, but probably best to ingest all of it before reflecting
