Words from Guidance for You
Words from Guidance for You
The last years of life can be viewed as a ‘gentle letting go.’ These years do not have to be viewed with hardship or regret, nor anger at the gentle ‘take away’ that is unfolding. We can put effort into staying as young as we possibly can, and this is a good mindset to have, and yet slowly or sometimes rapidly, the years release youth and the full blossoming of middle age, and the gentle ‘take away’ of old age unfolds.
Strangely, our minds still seem the same as they were when we were young. Yes, we may be slower and more forgetful, but we still know ourselves as who we always were. We still remember the delights of youth as if they were yesterday. Different sounds, smells, sights, or tastes and other things remind us of something that happened dozens of year earlier or in our childhood, and bring a warm familiarity to our senses. Where have the years gone, and how is it possible that you are already here at this age, looking back on what once was? It seems but yesterday...and yet the years have so soon, gone by!
You are not alone in the ‘gentle letting go’ of aging. I am with you now as always. Your willing relinquishment of the cares and worries of an earlier time when responsibility was heavy on your shoulders bring you to a place of deep peace. You no longer must move to the time schedule and the hustle and bustle of the working world and there is time for reflection and contemplation of what is, what was, and what shall be. Regrets may be there, but true satisfaction, also. There is time to begin the letting go process with your belongings, finding appropriate living arrangements that fit for you at this time, and being with others who are your age mates, your fellow travelers along the lifeline of your years.
Productivity and creativity need not stop if you are so inclined to continue on. The attributes and gifts you bring are still valuable and can make a real difference to others there. I am still loving you, guiding you, helping you, comforting you and providing the solid foundational underpinning of your well being. I am there for you as you turn within. The years do not take away our relationship, dear one, that is solid through it all and even beyond your years there on the earth plane. This is something you can count on always. I love you dearly there, and know that you are never alone.
Aging — a gentle letting go...
