The golden years. Why do you call them this? Gold is your most precious metal and holds much value. The golden years are a time to be treasured as well, for by this time you have unraveled many of the mysteries of this life you are living. The veil has lifted a bit.
For some, the later years are not so pleasant, filled with loss and the challenges of an aging body. Try, please, to tap into the sea of wisdom available to you once the veil lifts and see the body for what it is—a vehicle for the spirit. The spirit is far more precious than any golden trinket. You are that spirit, not the body. Do not disparage the signs of aging, but welcome them as a sign that you have gained much wisdom and will go on to gain more still.
Few lives are ever wasted. Some lift the veil higher than others, but in most cases there is soul growth. This is the golden egg for which all search, the grand prize … understanding finally who you are and that you never truly grow old.
