Bravery comes in different forms with age. Today we tried to visit a Celtic Hill fort in Provence, but private property owners had completely and illegally blocked the public footpath. Did we give up? No, we knocked on doors and in fractured French we tried to explain that they cannot own a 2000 year old site and that history matters. It didn't work, but my 18/28/38 year old self would not have even tried to make the point.

Thank you! I hope I can the same about myself, in other situations. I'll have to think about this.
"As energies wane, there’s more time for quiet. Stillness allows feelings to emerge, thoughts to ripen, possibly wisdom to accrue." - very nice!
