Maturity

When we are young we often have so much energy and enthusiasm to try new things and to explore our world. Often this comes at the price of not listening or taking advice because we feel that we know better. I'm certainly aware that I was very arrogant when I was younger and always thought that I knew best!

Now, from a more mature point of view, I can savour the richness of life more deeply, the personal connections and the new experiences. In place of the urgency of exploration there has come the sense of openness and fullness, of appreciation; and I hope also, a certain amount of wisdom to reflect on life, which has become possibly a slower journey but one with so many delicious subtleties of experience!
