life long learning Keeps the Big A away

Life-Long Learning Keeps the Big A Away

They say
That the best way
To avoid dementia
And the dreaded
Big A

From creeping on you
Is to learn something new
Every single day

I study Korean
Every day
For at least
An half an hour

And learn something new
Daily

I also try to read
And learn something
New from my reading

And reflect upon it
In my daily journal
With any luck

I will avoid the dreaded
Dementai and the Big A
Which took my mother
From us at age 85

a great poem about life long quest for knowlege and that starts at birth and continues until one dies. I liked this lines the best

Sculpting his likeness in the past, he longs for eternity.
Probing the future, he ignores the past.
Forever living, forever changing, forever growing, the mind's eye can awaken the universe.


We first beheld the sun in the heavens.
We first saw the light of being.
We gaze into our newborn's eyes, and we see the creation of our human empires.

The baby's hand reaches outward, and we hold it, comforting it as it grows.
The baby's adventure of exploration, to seek, to know.
The utter beauty of learning forces him onward.

He fights to caress what he touches.
His wants and needs are nourished and inspired.
His ideas can turn the smallest grain of matter into destruction or the indescribable beauty of existence.

Flower blossoms signal the adult coming of age.
Stretching, reaching, it moves out into the world.
Tapping life on the shoulder, the man longs to help, but in his own way.

From the birth of humankind arises the miracle of learning.
To learn a name. To learn a face. To learn a language.
From fire to the artificial mind, wisdom bridges the titanic expanse of years in flashes.

Sculpting his likeness in the past, he longs for eternity.
Probing the future, he ignores the past.
Forever living, forever changing, forever growing, the mind's eye can awaken the universe.
