Experiences

As days go by, as I get older, I am trying to stay young. Recently I discovered a missing factor in my life. Tongue tying feelings, breath taking experiences..just those simple emotions that cannot be expressed in words whatsoever. One has to live through these moments in time to know just exactly what those emotions are. And, it is those emotions that act as an inspiration to write, to tell the world in more than one way what living 'that' life is, doing 'that' thing is..
So, is this all an element of youthful optimism, of the belief in utopia. As we get older, do these images just vanish leaving us behind to deal with reality. Reality that isn't half as inspiring, reality, that isn't half as romantic and reality that is simple, plain, sometimes uplifting, sometimes disappointing. This reality doesn't let one try crazy new ideas, live in strange worlds with stranger tongues and tastes. This reality does indeed tie one to a land that has nothing to hold on to. This reality provides one glue: security. Sure, security helps making better decisions, clears mind for moving on with life. But for just this security, are we just losing the youthful spirit in us?..

Very true... Have been wondering about this for a long time now. How nice would it be to be kids where you sense of spontanity is always present and as we grow older, it just kind of seems to dull out and die.
