RE: Not Too Old to Dance

But they say every age is a good age, because you're breathing.

That's good.

I sometimes say things like that - "at your age", "for her age" - and feel bad about it. Am I being unfair? But it seems just like expressing admiration, or if anything on top of that, I would say fear. Deep down, we're all afraid of dying, of losing the parts of ourselves that give us joy - like surfing, traveling the world, going to concerts, whatever it may be for you. When I see someone older doing the things I love "at their age", it gives me hope that I might not have to lose them after all, that foundational joy. So maybe when someone says such things, they're actually saying thank you for giving me hope before this primal, firmly rooted fear (of death, because ultimately, that is what it is, and the younger you are, the less experience with this you have). It's no small thing to give someone that message of hope, my dear. :)

P.S.: you're freaking cool. For any age. At all ages, seems to me.
