Last night I had a dream. Four respected ladies Radha, Sita, Rukmani and Gita were sitting with a cup of coffee in hand and were talking about something important and relevant.
Radha said” Dear friends, we are aging and are at the door of the next phase of our lives. “Sita said, “We’re at the age where we see a lot of wrinkles a mixture of grey-black hair, and extra pounds in the form of sagging skin on our bodies.”Gita said ” When I see cute 25-year-old girls/ladies I remember my old days. We were always involved with something #creative to do for children with enthusiasm and energy. Of course, we were neither #appreciated nor our skills could make us get some financial gains.”Rukamani said,” Friends at this age we are passing our wisdom and experience for the next generation to follow.”
Radha said,” Friends we have #raised families, ran households with small resources, paid the bills, dealt with all types of diseases, sadness and everything else that life had assigned us.”Gita said, “Some of us lost our nearest and dearest also in this #aging process.”
Rukamani said” We are survivors of this ageing war. We are warriors in the quiet space. We are women, with a lot of #determination .”
Radha said “Even if our bodies aren’t that strong and fit what they once were, they carry our golden #souls, our unique courage, and our strength. “
Sita said, “We have entered this ‘old age’ within our lives with grace, and #pride over everything we have been through, and we should feel proud about this #natural process of getting older”.
Gita said, “It’s a privilege that is denied to so many of our dear friends. Some way it is for us to #celebrate this old age”.I had the privilege to serve tea and snacks to those respected ladies.
I concluded the session and said” Respected ladies, we know till today you never worked for pay. Sometimes family and society do not recognize the contribution of (the older generation). In this gathering it is good you acknowledged your #accomplishments and claimed your worth. “
I further added, “I wish the younger generation takes your gift of knowledge and skills to a higher level and #benefits of the same.”
I at once realized it was time for me to go to school. But that #dream is intact in my subconscious mind to this date.
