🌊 Day 142 Ocean Swim - The Wisdom of Growing Old Together - Ocean Swim Series

🌊 Something is changing within and between us both. We talk more now like kids do, discussing what’s fun and interesting rather than what’s important and dear. We’ll let the young folk handle that stuff more instead, the great engine of life driven less now by our effort than the effort of the ones coming next. This is maybe why old people talk so little about growing old; it’s because age is a secret special place which we can only ever live to reach, experience and enjoy. And there’s little sense teasing or enticing the young with knowledge of the place they too must only grow old to ever know. (KB)
🌊 On Day 140 of the Ocean Swim Series, Kurt Bell dives into a profound reflection on change, growth, and the passage of time. 🏊‍♂️🍃 As the ocean whispers secrets of eternity, Kurt and Emily engage in conversations reminiscent of childhood, focusing on what’s fun and interesting rather than what’s deemed important. This shift signifies a deeper transformation within and between them, embracing a lighter approach to life’s complexities.
Today’s swim is enveloped in the wisdom of letting go, allowing the younger generation to steer the great engine of life with their vibrant energy and dreams. It’s a recognition of life’s cyclical nature and the unique, often unspoken journey of aging. 🌊👴👵 Kurt muses on the quietude of the elderly, suggesting that age is a sacred, secret place of experience, beyond the grasp of words or warnings. It’s a stage of life rich with its own kind of beauty and understanding, accessible only through the lived experience of growing older.
Join Kurt and Emily as they navigate these reflective waters, celebrating the serenity that comes with age and the joy of living in the moment, freed from the weight of the world’s demands. It’s a heartfelt reminder that every phase of life holds its own magic, waiting to be uncovered and cherished. 🌄📘🕰️
Kurt Bell is a passionate explorer and dedicated family man, delving into the intricacies of life and the world around him. Born in America in 1964, he has journeyed both physically and philosophically, penning insights in his books like “Going Alone” and “No More Looking Out For Number One.” With a stoic heart and a skeptic’s mind, Kurt believes in navigating life without attaching any inherent meaning, yet finding purpose in every moment. Experience the contemplative beauty of today’s discussion on age, legacy, and the simple pleasures that bind us. 🌄📚🚶‍♂️
