C.S. Lewis' 4 ages of life
In my middle age,
I am remembering that I can do things that dirt can’t do — if I put dirt on a bike, it stays motionless.
If I am on a bike — I can go to places that dirt can’t go, and think about things dirt can’t think about, and feel thins it can feel.
So, re-enchantment is always a new insight away.
And again, I learnt something new. The 4 Ages, I never saw them like this.
As for the individual, so too for civilization.
I hope.
I hope that we rediscover genuine hope.
(In the original essay, the example of aristocracy seems to suggest this. I found it here:

There is parallel for our life in Christ - from ignorance to zealous faith to sobering knowledge to compassionate wisdom.
Love this. pairs well with a song i just wrote.

真の愛とは.....という問いは、私にとって、表現が難しいですが、耳の痛いテーマです。
