Everybody complains about getting older, but I find it such a rich time of life.

Life is funny and it is interesting how we make it as serious as possible.

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.
