Life is a tricky balance full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Those moments when we lose our balance (both physically and metaphorically) often lead us to where we’re supposed to be going and the peace and calm we are seeking. As I get older, I am learning to trust myself and this process more and more.
Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life’s most persistent questions.

Akasha,
Loved this…..wonderful you!
lovely…forwarding this to my sister who is also a tripper….
This piece held so many truisms for me, Akasha. I am also having a terrible time realizing that, damn! I’m getting old!! I’ll be 78 this summer! How did that happen? Granted my body is not nearly as forgiving, flexible and operational as yours — I have been bemoaning the organ recital for several years now and my body tells me in no uncertain terms that I am NOT what I used to be — but I still persist in thinking of myself at least 40 years younger than I am. I somehow refuse to accept that I am the same age as those old people driving like tortoises on the highway, or that I stand in a line staring at something trying to remember why it was of interest in the first place. Thanks for the gentle smiles of self-recognition in this piece. Do you know — we have known each other since 1988!! That’s a long time, girlfriend. How lucky can I get!
