Aging rapidly

The usual routines are exactly the same.  Same food.  Same cold.  Same insanity.

Chi asks us to state our age & what it means to us & I’m absolutely stunned to hear he’s only 53 years old.  I think I actually gasp. He looks like shit & I had pegged him for close to 70 (we later learn that Chia is 31, so a bit older than she looks.  Her hair the blackest black I’ve ever seen & since they’re into the holistic approach to living I didn’t think she dyed her hair, so I pegged her for younger because there is not one strand of grey in her locks). We work on our strengths & weaknesses.  We work on fear & what our biggest fears are & where fear stems from.  I feel these are meaty subjects that are relative to our well being, so we all are quite involved.  Decent days, but still…we can start to see the cracks in the porcelain cup & we’re scared to jiggle things too much for fear everything might fall apart in our hands.
