A grandfather's river metaphor teaches that aging means adapting like water flowing around obstacles. David Reynolds' Water Bears No Scars reinforces the idea that flexibility, not resistance, carries you through life's challenges.
And I always call my grandfather because he was kind of like my mentor, the person that gives me all these amazing advices, you know. And I do remember once he told me, and he said, look at the river. Even if it's a big— even if it's a huge tree in the, in the, in the middle of the stream, water never stops. Water just transforms. Water just adapts the shape that the water needs to take. And this is, I think, how we should age. This is the way I think we should live. We have to adapt and go over the problem like the water does, right?
Yeah, exactly. When I wrote the article after our trip, I mentioned a book that I read many years ago, a book by David Reynolds. The book is titled Water Bears No Scars. And that's exactly the point you're making. For more inspiring stories, expert insights, and tips for thriving at any age, join us at livingto100.club.
