Wayfarer64 Posted January 9, 2008 Hey there Leo- I'm turning 54 in early March... Â Yes emptying is the way to fullness...from being full of stuff to emptying in order to be filled with light...This has been a good way for my own inner space to be somewhat transformed through practices both esoteric and mundane... Â Here - with our fellow Bums, we may each find new ways to transform our selves in the comfort of friendly supportive seekers... Â And I am pretty sure that if we can keep our minds open, age will take us onward and inward/upward with ever lighter loads to carry... Â Congrats on the wedlock-!!! Love to all-PDG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaoWaDiddy Posted January 9, 2008 I'm another one of the old farts elder statesmen that usually lurks around here on the board. Â At 56, I seldom manage to empty my cup - rather, when I actually manage to stop and check I discover once again that I'm full of it. Â AugustLeo (Michael), my wish for you and your bride is that your marriage become an ongoing celebration of what is possible. May you be so profoundly happy/sad/angry/blissful together that you can barely contain it. Â All the best, Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric23 Posted January 9, 2008 53 here. The past couple of years have been a time of really discovering what makes me tick. I'm learning that "the journey is the destination" is more than a cliche. The Bums has become my cyber home. Just sit back, read and learn. Â Michael, here's wishing you guys the very best. Hope to make it over to one of the lectures and meet some real life Taobums.

Buddy Posted January 9, 2008 I guess I'm the babe at 50. Michael, I always tell my single friends, marry your second wife first. Too late for me, but I got it right the second time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayfarer64 Posted January 11, 2008 I thought at 41 I was one of the old guys here! Â And you are... just not that old... Â You seem to have more patience than many of us Darin, The younguns will catch us up... in a while these human sprouts will be closer to our ages as a percentage of our time alive... as time goes on all things become closer to eachother in some way... Â not to worry, not to hurry... Â Â now I'm off to get my geritol/viagra fix... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian L. Kennedy Posted January 11, 2008 I am getting close but not quite in the club yet. I turn 50 in June. But I have lived in Taiwan for 15 years. I am told that speeds up the aging process! Â take care, Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
