My ex once got mad at me that I "need to touch every leave we walk by". I felt so weird and got a little bit hurt to be honest, I did it because I felt happy, felt like a little kid again with him. But I felt so disappointed after he judged me for doing harmless stuff like this. Watching this video and seeing her gliding her fingers through the tall grass, gives me a sense of empowerment and calmness that what I am doing is not wrong, it serves my inner child. I am still interacting with nature, like forming hearts out of leaves, but it is still great seeing such a wise person doing "childish" stuff like this.

[@lshwadchuck5643]

As she spoke I was full of curiosity about her. Your film didn't show her hobbies or cooking, but I did love seeing her exercise. However, her advice to 'Go slow' for longevity was so simple yet it really resonated with me. I quit an unsustainable career at 53 and moved to a cottage in the woods near a sweet village. I'm 72 now and when she said 'Go slow' I breathed a sigh of agreement. I've been slow living for nearly twenty years and have no health problems yet. What gets me out of bed when it feels like everyone in my circle of intimates is suffering is my piano, which I started learning to play when I was 66.

I do agree that living in the moment,going slow is good for one. Playing piano or any instrument is a wonderful solace, whether you’re experienced or beginning--you have to be in the moment and not think of anything else. It’s been mine for many ,many years.

I turned 81 this year. I recently received word that my college roommate died this year. Seems like just yesterday that we were a couple of 18 year old kids starting out in life. A life is such a blink of an eye. Looking back on my long life I would suggest two worthy goals to strive for in a well-lived life. One is to be a good listener. And two is to be a good "noticer". When I wake up each morning, I say to myself "Yay! I still exist. I get another day of conscious awareness. I get another day of hundreds of thoughts to enjoy" Death doesn't scare me because when my brain dies, I won't know I'm dead, just like all the billions of years before I was born..

I was, for years, drawn toward the static idea of "spiritual freedom". It was a catch-phrase being tossed around in the 70's & after, & I gravitated toward that 3-D "freedom" idea but never reached it. The wording "spiritual liberation" is an action term (to me) that my heart had never contemplated but that I had always needed to recognize and to act upon to help me fulfill my purpose in living the slow-life to my current age of 92. How grateful I am to find it sequestered here in a beautifully simple comment in this awesome realm of beings opening their hearts so comfortably. Thank you, Peter, for providing me a key piece of terminology to complete my life's continually curious, still-active years. 🥰

[@johuffines3560]

Did anyone else smile, cry, or laugh when watching this? I felt all that. What a wonderful being who knows what life is about. Key is being grateful. While she informs us to "take it slow," my 96 y.o granny told me to "never stop moving." She had this little picture in her kitchen that said "Don't wait for your ship to sail in, swim out after it." In terms of her advice, I know its truth because when we stop moving either physically or mentally, it is a form of giving up. Our bowels shut down, our muscles atrophy, we are prone to pneumonia, and mental lethargy, and so much more. In some ways this woman reminds me of Granny.

[@janus2021]

to your comment, "this is the wisdom the world desperately needs BUT WILL NEVER LISTEN TO", why say such a thing? being a nay-sayer ~ feeds failure ~ obstructs the Light, and denies any true sense of our Divine connection with the Source of our Being. believing that "the world will never listen" suggests an absence of Faith, a denial of God, and a lack of understanding that being cut off from the Source of our Being IS what has gotten us into the deep, dark state we've collectively become. i doubt that you really want more of that. Please stay Life-Affirming in all that you think, say and do 🙏🏼 i'm pretty sure that Dot would agree💗

I watch this having just lost my mum at 89 so in her 90th year. They look very similar, quite simply beautiful . My mum had dementia which meant she very happily lived in the present moment.
