How Long Will You Live

This is an interesting question and, I must admit one that I was just asking myself. A friend just happen to send me this info and I thought you might find it interesting yourself.

I have always envisioned myself lasting until my late 90's BUT (based on this calculator) I will not get much past 80 and THAT SIMPLY WILL NOT DO!

Since adding this info to my blog I have lost 12 kilos, changed my way of eating and even though I can't quite get to doing formal exercise I will now live to 90! Well so it says anyway.

No Ordinary World

The world is awash with the refuse of the human race, but what if some of it could be reused?

In years gone by a place of sanctuary was required to hide from the fears infesting the mind. A world of fantasy grew all around comforting the spirit. Then imagination was not enough. It was necessary to touch what was once thought, tread the paths woven in the mind, to feel the essence of one's dreams, to walk through what was no ordinary world.

But how?

With gourds in one hand and decades of casts off from a life of hording in another, order grew. With plastic, string, balloons and more, plants, fungi and creatures appeared beneath the fingers that wove them into existence. Homes appeared, small, delicate and secretive, filled with the waste thrown away by human beings. Layers of life surrounded them. A touch of nature was added. The earthiness of the gourd embodied them with an essence that made one believe that this could all be real.

As stories began to be told through the written word, the models, entwined within, both grew in size, width and depth.

Strangers looked upon a world that was like no other. It was tactile, full of layers, it drew them in and, with their imaginations ablaze they too now wandered the paths that lay before them lost in the innocence of a childhood long since gone.
