Anyone who lives by their principles, follows their soul's urgings, and speaks their truth.

Contented sound of cattle grazing on a quiet evening when they have just been moved onto new pasture. Songs of robins, warblers, white-throated sparrows in the background.

My advice to other people in midlife

Pay attention to your life. See what truth is being presented to you. Embrace the difficulties to see what gifts they bring, learn to tune into higher wisdom, be honest with yourself and others. With luck and persistence you will become an elder in time, rather than simply becoming elderly.

One of my favourite sayings

This too shall pass.
