I am currently listening to Tao Porchon-Lynch speak and I can't stop smiling. I would love one day to be like her as I approach 100 years of age.
She still teaches yoga and has won numerous dance competitions (she started learning ballroom at 87.. With partners decades younger).
She's vegetarian and still has a childlike wonder about everything, especially nature. She will even avoid killing bugs (like me!).
She still drives. She still drinks fresh juice and eats Indian food.
She is more flexible than most people I know. She has more health and joy in her life than many people I know.
She HUNG OUT WITH GANDHI.
She exemplifies why I have no desire to accept the status quo, blindly eating and sitting ourselves into oblivion, without a thought about what it does to our bodies and minds. Or giving up on learning something new just because of age or any other so-called "restriction." Too many people nowadays give up too early.
Eff that!
Eff that!
