nobody asked…

Robert Brady, from his vantage point on a Japanese mountainside, speaks to us through the monkey chatter in his vehicle, Pure Land Mountain. In his current post, Genuine Growth, Robert delicately explores growth and aging, and assembles words in a beautiful fashion equalled by few.

I urge you to visit Robert’s mountainside and read his short but powerful post which has this as a cornerstone:

Every age has its laments and regrets of passage that, in a life well lived, are more than offset by the rewards that come unbidden with genuine growth. If there is no true growth - as within as without - then one must bear increasing sadness at loss of joy that should have been.

He concludes this walk through his garden with:

And if you’ve genuinely lived, when it comes time to die, you simply step forward into the light as you always have.

Thank you Robert Brady…
