In full bloom
by chuckofish
“Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez– Love in the Time of Cholera
I’m with you, Gabe.


Great pic and quote — but it sure is odd feeling young inside, but having a body this old (and fat). Ugh.
Indeed, but I guess there is some consolation in knowing that everybody feels this way…
I really don’t mind feeling “old,” whatever that is…”young” was pretty stressful, as I recall.
Too true. 🙂
