Passage of Time

In our minds, we view ourselves as young, strong, and physically attractive.  On our way towards death, there are subtle reminders that this is no longer true. What was light is now heavy. Recovery from ailments and injuries now takes longer. Physical pain comes more easily. However, that doesn’t mean that our lives are over.  It just means that the strengthening of our mind should replace the decay of our body. A strong mind can easily compensate for a weak body.
