Let’s be brutally honest: the body is now a traitor and a teacher.
And truth, at sixty-something, feels better than happy. It feels like finally taking off a pair of shoes you never realized were two sizes too small.
We are going to tell you to sit in the unraveling .
And here is the deep cut—the thing that flips the script. Once you truly accept the betrayal of the body, you stop wasting the spirit.
You wake up. The coffee takes a little longer to kick in. You scroll your phone, not for news, but for obituaries. Not literally, at first. But figuratively. You check on the ones who are still here, and you take a silent inventory of the ones who are not.
Your body is telling you the truth that your ego has been dodging for sixty years: You are finite. You are matter. You will return to matter.
You stand between the dead and the living. You remember landlines and rotary phones. You remember when “breaking news” meant waiting for the morning paper. You remember a world before the endless scroll. You speak the language of your grandchildren (“bet,” “slay,” “no cap”) but your accent gives you away.
