Forever young

A thought in the style of Jimmy Yetts and Andrew Mitchell

Drinking from the fountain of youth 
requires that one isn't swayed by 
what others think of the 'taste'...

very thought provoking ... and i believe quite true ...as we learn to accept our true selves ...what others think, takes the seat at the back of the line or i think you are right ..our health/youth suffers .. i like where your haiku-like, Mitchell/Yetts poem takes me :)

Hmm, an interesting one. Not sure how to interpret this. I don't disagree of course. And also, I drink some nasty tasting smoothies from time to time just to pretend I'm keeping my body young.

Never kill the child in you no matter what !
