From an early age, the concept of a midlife crisis was fascinating and terrifying.  The idea that a person could suddenly realize that their life had strayed far from their intended course seemed like one of the worst feelings imaginable. I was captivated by movies like Big, and even the Toys R Us theme song, which made me cling to my childhood with preemptive nostalgia.  Without any formal right of passage into adulthood, my 20's were a meandering river of exploration, in search of a life path that felt true to my spirit.  Now that I am firmly rooted on that path, I no longer fear having a midlife crisis.  Instead, I see the world around me in a state of crisis, and question how I am being called to show up in this moment and take on responsibility while not falling into the traps of growing up that terrified me as a young person. 


Questions to Consider:

*  What are the responsibilities that you associate with being an "adult" that feel meaningful?
*  What are the conventional notions of being a grown up that hinder creativity and the ability to enjoy life?
*  How should "adults" be showing up in this moment of global crisis?
