A wonderful description of my somewhat parallel life. I will be 72 in July and the clarity you describe is beginning to show itself. As a result, I have become very guarded with respect to time. That, health, and relationships are now front. I am grateful for arriving at this point in my life. The good is outweighing the rest. Thanks for the salient reminders, Bret. Es un privilegio conocerte.

Bret, I’m a few days from 78 and found this piece very relatable ! From a well-known nutritionist, since you live in Mexico, where vegetables are woven deeply into the culture, you may want to read more about this: “Researchers just found a longevity compound hiding inside some of the most ordinary foods in your kitchen. One that extended lifespan by up to 18% and cut Alzheimer's-related brain plaque effects nearly in half.

The reason nobody knew about it? It has no colour. So nobody thought to look.

It's called phytoene. And it's been sitting in your tomatoes, carrots, oranges, and red peppers this entire time.” ——Sarah Otto

As someone who struggles with the onset of AI, since I respect your insights, I'd be very interested to hear about the process around your interaction with AI.

Poignant and beautiful, Bret. Thanks for sharing the insight. It took me on a stroll through my own life and memories.

Beautiful writing, Bret, beautifully reflective, honest and positive-which is sorely needed. Life is good.
