Alphalary for a Healthy Lifestyle - Laughter Learning Limits Living Love Longevity

I went to see Don ‘D.C.’ Curry Saturday with NOVA. Sitting next to her, a woman a year older than me who looks better than a twenty-five year old — this isn’t subjective, she takes care of herself physically, mentally, and spiritually. In contrast I watched a man ten years older walk out on stage, semi-assisted, to a stool to sit in while he performed his set.

I Am reminded of the impermanence of life.

There are acknowledgements of his mortality throughout the set as he recognizes and shows respect for comedians younger/older than him who have passed. I came to the show with an expectation that Don, standing tall on stage in one of his custom suits, would go off on one of his famous riffs — & this is the crux of our struggle with impermanence; we want things to stay the same, to remain unchanged, to be what they once were.

Faced with reality and an understanding that we have less time, we can laugh and learn while knowing our limits to create an alphalary for a healthy lifestyle. Remembering the impermanence of life, we should appreciate our time more and get on to more living and more love to create longevity.

I Am

UPDATE: I left out the show was awesome, Don was funny and did not disappoint.
