Charles De Gaulle
once said that old age was a shipwreck. Indeed it is we who are the captains
who eventually must go down with our vessel beneath the seas of nothingness. Time
robs the eyes of sight, the mind of sharpness, and the bones become brittle. Sooner
or later if survival permits, we all begin to take on water. Let the wisdom of
the Dao be your lifeboat to the next journey.
