I read Chip’s post “Longevity is Becoming "Shortevity“ and couldn’t help but think that the problems shortening our longevity: overdoses, suicide, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, gun violence— are all problems of not belonging to one other.

"A what?" "A Cultural Architect. I help remote-first companies define their values (and if they are actually alive and well), behaviors, rituals, shared language, stories to create a desired working ecosystem (without an office) aligned with company strategy."

Chip wrote a Wisdom Well post a few weeks ago about Ruth Marcus’ Washington Post op-ed on ageism and sexism. I understand his compassionate thinking but I wanted to offer an alternative point of view. In so doing, I shall turn to that most trusted of sources – Bazooka bubblegum.

I hear again and again that age is a mindset, that it doesn’t matter; age isn’t a number, that it is something to “get over” so you can live your life. It is only something to get over if you had it in the first place.

Even after six years of leading Awe Writing Workshops, my step lightens, my chest expands, and I feel more connected to humanity each time I wrap one up. I love hearing pens race across paper and seeing faces filled with determination as writers put ineffable experiences into words.

I was staying at my friends home for a few days enjoying the beautiful landscape and in preparation for a storm I decided to unmount an umbrella that was next to a Buddha statue; the sunset was amazing and the remaining light of it created a perfect evening that was inviting me to have a glass of wine while enjoying the festival of colors provided by the mist of the clouds combined with the sunlight.
