Oxytocin. We were all born to touch and keep the oxy mojo flowing. (Just don't get creepy about it.)

I've been on this crazy beautiful floating space rock for 43 years. My dad is 73 and ailing mother 68 this year. I have a wife who's tolerated me for 20 years. I have 3 rock springers 17, 12 and 8 years with her. I've met hundreds of other beautiful rock dwellers asking the same question you ask. I haven't lived a necessarily exceptional life and I don't claim to know much, but I do know that Oscar Wilde was on to something when he said: "With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone" ... and that kinda scares me sometimes when I enjoy my occasional misanthropy.

Let's keep the compassion flowing, everything else is part-time occupation.

Unfortunately, I'd like to keep that to myself because it's super personal to me, but one of the biggest things I learned is that by healing myself, and leading by example, I can also help my family because they've also experienced some traumas growing up.
