Summary
The website content reflects on the theme of midlife crisis through a poem that encourages self-acceptance and introspection.
Abstract
The poem titled "Midlife Crisis" delves into the introspective journey of acknowledging and navigating the complexities of aging and self-identity. It suggests that a midlife crisis can be an unexpected event, potentially unnoticed amidst the routine of life, such as shopping at a farmer's market. The poem advises taking a proactive stance in confronting one's life, using the metaphor of shattering it like a geode to reveal its true nature, accepting that what lies within may not always be the expected treasure but could be another layer of the journey. The text is accompanied by an image credited to Amanda Laughtland and a link to another article titled "Space Invaders."
Opinions
It might be decades ahead. (God bless vitamins.)
It might have passed last year or years ago, maybe
on a Friday at the farmer’s market as you bought organic produce.
If you think you’re having a midlife crisis take a hammer to your life
and look for a sparkling geode if you know you can accept
finding layers of more gray rock.
