Is Aging Just Rust?

“Rust results from a reaction called oxidation, in which iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron (III) oxide. Essentially, the metal is naturally returning to its unrefined state.” Nov 24, 2020 ( bjus)

Another birthay — celebration of my life on earth this time around.

Truth be told- I have much more to learn. I am just starting to muttle through in understanding the puzzles of this life. I always knew it was simple- just never realized how simple.

I love Bruce — and I am still sorting out the earliest messages I have received.

Anyway, back to rust — what is oxidation in simple words?

Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons. Specifically, it means the substance that gives away electrons is oxidized. … Oxygen does not have to be present in a reaction for it to be a redox-reaction. Oxidation is the loss of electrons. https://simple.wikipedia.org › wiki › Oxidation

The reaction to the moving of electrons resulting to the loss of electrons. Seems like Aging to me.

I am not yet slow or wrinkled with wear, but it may be coming. If we get through this incredible Covid crisis that is.

I am not yet labored in thought or deed, but I see many who are that are rusty without age. Depressed, Unmotivated. Lost. I notice people more (maybe that is a sign).

My thoughts are complex. If I keep the losses to a minimum maybe the total oxidation will not happen. Maybe I can go out and transition in a purer form than I came in with. Like I wrote above =“Essentially, the metal is naturally returning to its unrefined state.” (bjus)

Unrefined- I like that. Bohemian vibe kinda thing.

I don’t like losses. I hide the fact that I can handle everything. I teach my high school students how valuable they are and how powerful they can be in word and action.

But, most days I don’t feel very powerful. I feel rusty from the losses.

The effort. The Republicans lol. Exhausted. I need to polish up a bit.

Reclaim my steel and grit. Write more, get a tattoo, find a cool lover and get another puppy. The qigong, candle, sage, meditation practices balance my oxidation. (I think) But, I have aways to go.

A long way to go….
