Do you suppose that could be true? It is a difficult concept that gives me brainstrain! I know what you mean though about seeing your children age. Mine are now 40 thru 46 and I definitely see the changes - the softening of the line of the jaw, the early wrinkles, the few strands of gray, the slight paunch - seems so sad---. And, I look in the mirror, and think WHO is that OLD woman?? Happens to us all if we live long enough. Somewhere I once read that time is an illusion, that the past, present

I know what you mean though about seeing your children age. Mine
are now 40 thru 46 and I definitely see the changes - the softening
of the line of the jaw, the early wrinkles, the few strands of
gray, the slight paunch - seems so sad—.

And, I look in the mirror, and think WHO is that OLD woman??
Happens to us all if we live long enough.

You know, when I think of you, I can't assign an age to you. You come across like a young person with a great deal of wisdom. The nice thing about blogging - ages stop mattering. You can see the person, rather than the shell. --- Barbara - thank you for the thoughtful comment. I've sent you an email - please let me know if you don't get it, okies? --- Wolfbaby - yes indeed, time masters us all. Excellent point, my friend. --- Ripple ... I've <em>never</em> been able to do a cartwheel! Seeing my kids aging has been far harder for me than seeing myself age. It's also put a keen aching inside for a chance to talk to my own parents, both of which have been gone for a long time, now. --- Christine, welcome to my blog, and thank you for the very kind comment. --- RDL ... thank you for the comment, and vising and reading. :o) --- Rositta ... that's so true: nothing will stop the passage of time. Thank you for your comment! --- Wandering Visitor ... sometimes it does seem that "life is but a dream" ... and it makes you wonder why all of the "intensity." But then again, there are dreams, and there are <em>dreams</em>. --- Angel, my sweet friend, thank you for your comment. Yes, appearances change - usually more than we do on the inside. Time is a thief ... it steals us away from ourselves when we're not paying attention. JMB, thank you. You know, when I think of you, I can’t assign an age to you.

Ripple … I’ve never been able to do a cartwheel!

Seeing my kids aging has been far harder for me than seeing myself age. It’s also put a keen aching inside for a chance to talk to my own parents, both of which have been gone for a long time, now.

Wandering Visitor … sometimes it does seem that “life is but a dream” … and it makes you wonder why all of the “intensity.” But then again, there are dreams, and there are dreams.

I remember my father telling me how he still felt 20 inside, but then looked in the mirror and realized time had moved on. The inside felt the same, but the appearance changed. I can understand that now. That was beautiful Moof. I remember my father telling me how he still felt 20 inside, but then looked in the mirror and realized time had moved on.

(((hug))) It's a hauntingly beautiful post. I watched a play the other day about the passage of time. Life is funny in that way - going through it makes one forget that things pass so quickly. All the ups and the downs in life are so "now," so real, and seem to last so long, but as soon as they pass, they becoming but fading memories. Perhaps there is truth to the phrase that "life is but a dream"... Oh Moofie. (((hug)))

My own son is 41 but he still climbs trees and more. Me, on the other hand, who used to white water canoe and climb cliffs can't do those things any more, but I still remember and mourn the loss. Nothing will stop the passage of time, we can only do the best we can...ciao I enjoyed reading your post knowing how true it is. My own son is 41 but he still climbs trees and more.

All I ever succeed in doing is finding something that makes me cry. Great post. I should know better than to go looking for thought provoking blogs.

It's weird when I try to do something (like ballet for instance) and it just isn't as easy as it was in the past. I remember how easy it once was, but I can't get my body to comply . . . I color the grays, and so far I don't have many wrinkles, but I'm seeing the changes . . . I can't imagine seeing the changes in my own children yet. <i>*sigh*</i> For me, it was realizing that doing a cart wheel isn’t as easy as it was when I was a kid.
