(The question of the title was asked)
When squeezed down without hardly any room to move, distil the very essence of who you are and what you love (they are the same ;-). be who you are anyway and any way you can. Not to 'get the bastards!' or save the world, but just because.
You don't need a special permission or reason to be yourself - but at times the medium of expression can be extremely constrained.
I love singing and dancing and sharing in living music - but I love the joy of it as freedom. I don't want the external forms if they become so contrived, compliant or correct as to be a cage for joy to die in its own parody. Joy can fly, and alight where it will. Just open the cage and stay open. Holding a channel for inspiration 'just because' is not complicated, but you have to be worth it, and that means you have to share that to have it.
Distilling down to the core essence is akin to the process of becoming seed for a new cycle. The eye of the needle allows all the riches you can share in, because the true quality of anything doesn't need a lot of show to be the expression of.
Older people may have already practised doing more with less.
Change is the only certainty in a world of change, but the attempt to control it comes back in our face, sooner or later and there's a lesson to take to heart.
The Big Change is in motion, but big plans make God laugh!
Modelling the future and then climbing into the model so as to give it more push, is called cognitive dissonance. If you don't find your life there, don't get on that bus. If you are on that bus, I don't know you can get off now - its a huge shift to make, back into the world of the living.
I wandered a bit there - but life is a dance not a destination.
