I am now in Act III of what has been a life, colorful and eventful enough for me to seriously comtemplate writing ...something, a book, memoirs?? (Must avoid those run-on sentences, I suppose) I'm not OVER the hill, let's just say,approaching it,and frankly having a lovely time in this semi-retired,but highly conscious state. There is so much to explore. Travel is high on the list. Finally have gotten to Ireland, homeland of grandparents, and can't wait to go back. As for philosophy to espouse, I wonder. Can one be a political activist and Buddhist at the same time? It's something I'm working on.
