Contemplation

Midlife is the time to let go of an over-dominant ego 
and to contemplate the deeper significance of human existence.
~ C. G. Jung

I think that as we get older we are bound to be more reflective.  We slow down so our thoughts slow down.  We have more to reflect upon.  We have lived some of a life.  We notice nature.  We notice art.  We are more forgiving than we might have been in the past.

Interestingly enough Isis was the patroness of nature and was friend of sinners, artists and the downtrodden.

I wonder why more people don't have a midlife Isis instead of a midlife crisis.

Maybe because they don't want to wear a throne on their heads like she did.
