I Feel Younger Today Than I Ever Have

I Feel Younger Today Than I Ever Have

Fifty years ago, when I was in my early twenties, I remember going for a hike in the hills above U.C. Berkeley. The trails up into those hills are very steep, so I was surprised when I met an old man on the trail (he was about the age I am now). He had a sense of sheer aliveness that I wasn’t used to seeing in people his age. We got to talking, and I still remember the conversation.
