Isabelle Allende is 71 years old who tries to live passionatelly.
̈When we start aging? ̈ society decides this, probably at the age of 65. But Allende explains that we start aging at birth and we all experience differently. We all feel younger than our age, because the spirit never ages.
What Allende has lost in the last decades? She has lost people, places, and the boundless energy of her youth and she is starting to lose independence and it scares her. Ram Dass says that independency hurts, but if you accept it, it's less suffering. Allende has lost a lot of things, but she has gained freedom, lightness, softness and spirituality. She tries to live mindfully and be present in the moment.
So, how can she stay passionate? She says yes to life, trying to stay in love... Allende has chosen to stay passionate engaged with an open heart. She works on it every day.
