A mind...without a physical shackle.

Don’t know if I like my physical appearance. Now that I’ve aged. Friends tell me I look younger than my years. But they may be lying. To make me feel good. Which is all right. Because it genuinely bolsters my ego. Some day I may look old and decrepit. I see people that have turned 100, And they generally don’t look too good. Wrinkled. Frail. Nothing like once upon a time.  Wonder what goes on in their minds.  Most have some degree of dementia. I want to live forever. But certainly not as a physical being. Better to be a spirit. A conscious one. A mind…without a physical shackle.  That would be perfect. –Jim Broede
