Random thoughts from an older perspective, writing, politics, spirituality, climate change, movies, knitting, writing, reading, acting, activism focussing on aging. I MUST STAY DRUNK ON WRITING SO REALITY DOES NOT DESTROY ME.

Natural Selection
Today (for Dog knows I wasn't up for it yesterday)I wonder about life's manifestations and nuances.
And birth order.
And how some in the same gene pool escape the afflictions of the others.
And nature vs nurture.
And hereditary vs environment.
Is everything in life a balancing act - i.e. a vs?
Like some eat and never gain weight.
While others can't even look at an ice cream without some kind of osmosis taking place.
Are there trade-offs - like you get so many talents but you also get all the angst, whereas you, you over there, get none but you're oh-so-happy-all-the-time. Because money/beauty/wit/Harvard.
And addiction? Is that genetic roulette?
Is adult life all about unmet needs from childhood?
Existential moments.
From me.
Who doesn't feel quite all there, right now.
