When I turn Seventy

Poem:

When I turn seventy I would like to weight 170 and have 150 lbs of muscle. My body fat percentage would be 12%. It makes sense to learn the ability to achieve it now. Are ladies with beauty maintenance algorithms more beautiful than just beautiful women? I suppose so. Proper diet and exercise assures they remain so. When I turn seventy I would have fifty years of meditation. I would like to go to India for my thirty year anniversary of my first trip. The sixties could be very nice years for meditation. They are the youthful and strong years of retirement. They could be made useful. You are told at twenty you had better meditate as someday it may be too late. Then at sixty you find this was true. Then there is little quality time left, so now with greater wisdom maybe you can finally advance. I can’t say that I even tried 12 hours of meditation? It would be good to be on a long retreat. Some people only have the imagination and never make it happen. You will find they are always laughing. Many people at sixty assume they will live to seventy, this may be arrogant and presumptive. It might make sense to assume even less. After all when I was 55 I assumed I only had five years left. So now technically I am just on renewal. It is hard to over come illusion. But the evidence is everywhere. When I turn seventy I would like to relax and just listen to the sound current. I will be in a private space so to my phone I will just dictate. My internet postings will be completely selfish. I will post my own thoughts and never read anyone else’s. I am more interested in “influencing” myself to be good than hoping to become an “influencer”. The laws of hidden knowledge suggest that if you are one you must be wrong. My only recommendation is longer meditation. Physical exercise is still a subset of the transitory, but can be supportive of being strong mentally. Simple rules still apply: eat less, walk more, don’t take the car. I like to salute sunset and sunrise. In my extremely long meditation class, we could have our break at sunset and sunrise. We could look at it and have tea. There is nothing I love more than a meditation fantasy. Sunrise and sunset would be right in the middle. So class would begin at three hours prior to sunrise and end at three hours after. Evening class would begin two hours prior to sunset and end two hours after sunset. That solves the timing issue. Now there is just the issue of location. That would be inside your head.
