As I googled images for “joy” recently, there were myriad photos of older folks laughing, loving, and living fully. It reminded me of the hallway in the recreation center where I teach yoga, which is lined with a photograph exhibit of people in the prime of their lives.
I love walking that hallway.
It’s filled with flirtation, laughter, orneriness, accomplishment, community, and family. There isn’t an emotional mask of any kind. It’s raw, naked, fun; proudly portraying deep laugh lines, wide open smiles, and hands grasping hands in a hedonic banter.
It’s purely and simply…bliss.
