The Rites of Passage
require/enable us to consciously
adjust ourselves to the here/now-ness
of our life as it moves through 
the stages from birth to death,
in a "Here we are, now what?"
kind of way.

We are regularly asked to 
let go of what's going
and let come what's coming,
in adjusting, adapting, acquiescing 
to what's what.

It is called, "Growing up
some more, again everyday."

Ageing is about living within our means
not only financially, but also physically,
mentally, emotionally...
Squaring ourselves up with our abilities
and "letting be what is" all the time.

"Willing what cannot be willed,"
and "Wanting what we have no business having,"
have to be paired with
"Seeing what we can get by with,"
in "Living fully and realistically"
with what we have to live with
all along the way.

Awareness and accommodation are our
life-long companions
in the day-by-day-ness of 
"the days of our lives."
