WHAT I RETRIEVE IS THE SELF THAT l'VE LEFT AND CAN NEVER LEAVE.How radically simplified life becomes as we age. It's just the flesh swirling around our bones. the concept of self which gives us our identity, and deep, very deep the soul which watches dispassionately. Everything else we surrender or it will be taken from us.And eventually we return to a renewed state of innocence. Naked I came into the world, naked I go out. Or as John Lennon memorably sang it. LAST NIGHT THE WIFE SAID, POOR BOY, WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, YOU DON'T TAKE NOTHIN; WITH YOU BUT YOUR SOUL. AMEN TO THAT.
