Die innere Freiheit des Alterns

"To grow old means to become seeing," wrote Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach. Being fully in the here and now, being able to embrace life without asking why, is a blissful experience. Especially in old age, we perceive it as a gift. Ingrid Riedel, herself over seventy, writes with warmth and wisdom about aging. Growing older means two things: to exhaust life and to let go of life. It is important to endure this tension, to accept imperfection, in order to find inner peace and serenity.
