Submitted to Gooseberry Gardens where the challenge is to tell something about your life. This was written some years ago…and that’s as much as I’m telling!
Check out this video: old-lady-dancing-at-walmart ‘Tis not I!
life at sixty-something
i’m outrageous
flaunt clashing colors
listen to dissonant music
dance
wear long hair
flowing dresses
comfortable shoes
make-up only if i feel like it
start new a career
in the arts
open my mouth
speak my truth
(kindly of course)
provoke thoughtfulness
step outside limits
of socially-conditioned
firmly-held
unshakable beliefs
question
challenge
hold firm or disregard
spend time each day in non-productivity
reflecting
doubting
probing
God’s not
a tightly packaged
sealed commodity
not limited at all
too fun and playful for theologians
i for one
don’t want to miss out
on the next surprise
life is splendid at sixty-something!
