<div>Judi, For my 80th I created and constructed an art form of 4 life
times on a 3x6 foot format with appropriate pictures, drawings, photos and
symbols to represent 4 twenty-year lives. It was quite an exercize.</div>
<div> Now as I approach my 85th I so appreciate you words and
reflections more than I can express.</div>

<p>Having been breathing for 75 years, I stand ready to celebrate it all.</p>
<p>When I stood at the end of 25, I created a 20 year time line for my life's
direction.</p>
<p>I did the same again at 45.</p>
<p>At 65, I was beginning to be aware that a day would come sooner than later
when I will have breathed in a final breath.</p>
<p>So, it made sense at the time to create only a ten year timeline.</p>
<p>Upon reflection, I must admit that the last ten years has been chock full of
lessons learned. More so, even than the first 65 all together.</p>
<p>I have been retired from a money making career for the past ten years.</p>
<p>I have not been tied to a rigid time frame, nor have I had to be
somewhere.</p>
<p>All of life, every day has been totally up to me.</p>
<p>Time and space were according to my own volition, not driven by the need to
make money to survive.</p>
<p>During this past ten years, and it has taken this long, I have been learning
to free myself of living someone else's dream, accommodating them by what I do
and when I do it.</p>
<p>In the past ten years, according to my timeline's guidance, my inner mind and
heart have been connecting with Soul's purpose in a whole new way.</p>
<p>I am finally experiencing freedom. I listen to my intuitions and make
decisions accordingly.</p>
<p>My sense of social responsibility is more closely aligned with listening to
real needs.</p>
<p>My participation in responding to suffering is more realistically correlated
to my age related abilities.</p>
<p>I now stand at the apex of this 75th year with the intention to compromise on
the time span of a timeline. I may die on the way, but, Hey!, that's what ut's
all about!</p>
<p>The next timeline, 15 years, will be a journey of developing the discipline
of living fully in the present moment, right where I am. The "goals" will be
filled with compassion and delight.</p>
<p>As I breathe in I am breathing a final breath on 75 years on
earth.</p><strong>As I breathe out I am breathing unto the first moment of the
new timeline's essence.</strong>
