40 plus years finding what you is about. Creating. Creating you and what you and the me and me outside is with others. Bad. Good. Indifferent you have come to the joint in the road my fellow traveler. The time and place where roads diverge. Alas, the joint of a place where one goes home. The other continues where egos go to make good use of what remains of a previous 40 plus years in success or not. But what if? What if the those others ...and the externals, Good. Bad. And the indifferent no matter what, are no longer the priority? What if?

What if you take the other road. That is not the midlife crisis. No. Not at all although the culture of the others will say so. No. it is something according to what get older is all about.

See you around the corner my friend. I am down there someplace for I too what 40 plus once. Standing there at the crossroads. Looking both ways. Wondering alone. What to do when the others, the good, bad, and indifferent demanded I do as they had done. Oh my, there in that joint of a place you begin to finally begin what life is truly about. Siddartha traveled the same path. And look where it took him is a hint to what awaits.

Lastly, rarely will you be with the others that started the trek with you. So older sage than most, take a step, choose a road. And begin. As you already have. For the road awaits a man like you.
