I’m not all that interested in material things when it comes to what I have what I need and what I can’t do without.

My luxury is to reflect over the years of my life, including all my associations with family, friends, students, and teachers, and the experiences that have been part and parcel of my life with so many others in so many different places.

I like being able to reflect and recall things that have happened, not in a way to cause me to feel miserable about the present, because I have had so many rich experiences that have been a part and parcel of my life.

There have been challenges, barriers, failures, successes, and celebrations. To pause and reflect on my old age somehow helps to keep my mind young.
