People get old. Egregiously. Bad bones and breached brains and more storm in on the elderly. Knowing this, pre-seniors weigh options, sandbagging the levees against the hurry canes and torn egos. Keenly attuned to fitness and diet, the far-from-old talk talk talk about everything from too tiny print to stiff knees that leak old age into dreams of youth eternal. Scary stuff.
Shlomit, visiting from Israeli, notices the boomer aversion to aging. She says, 'when you live in constant fear of the enemy, the terrorists have already won.'
Enter the '80 year old lady' with fire in her belly (see the video... to the end please). Her art reveals her priorities, with a word to the wise, and Salsa lovers everywhere.

Arts and Seinor Citizens
This is the beauty of the arts. They are for anybody at any age. I believe that you can begin perfecting an art even if you are elderly. I hate that word!! I didn't start college until I was 32 yrs. old. I have written poetry for 36 years but didn't get published until I was 65 yrs. old. I do not feel that age is a hinderence for me.
DANCE TO IT ALL
The arts,
as in performing.
Dance,
many types,
many cultures.
Way to many to name.
Interpretive dancing.
What do you see?
How do you explain?
Many people,
many interpretations.
Rehearsed, impromptu.
It matters not,
when it's the arts.
No matter to age, gender, color,
religion, height, weight.
The arts are for everyone.
So go ahead.
Sing, act, be a musician,
paint, print, photograph,
and dance to it all.
Dance to it all.
Just Me
