In an ever-growing desire to bring more light into a world that is actually composed of it, man has compromised itself by separating from the feelings that are inherent in a world of dualism and polarity. In so doing, the space for the use of grace is neglected and left untended. Due to this strategy, the human race has set itself upon the edge of denial - an edge that naturally leads to the integrity and authenticity of what feels real and is truly incorporated in experiencing life among each other.

What does it mean to grow old gracefully? About ten minutes ago I viewed a television commercial, which was not very efficacious because I’ve already forgotten the product’s name, but it did spawn my idea to write this article. In America , so very many English words and a greater number of expressions have either lost their meaning or never had any.

In the commercial a dermatologist and his wife, a psychotherapist, emphasize that they want to grow old gracefully thus explaining the reason they each claim to swallow 25 supplements per day. This confuses me because I don’t believe we can swallow pills to make ourselves graceful, which by definition is lithe, agile, dainty, pretty, delicate, handsome and trim. Thus, the meaning of growing old gracefully continues to elude me.
