The Young at Heart

「童心未泯」

I have 83-an year-old grandmother who is among the young at heart. She is as happy and gay as her youngest great-grandchildren. Her health is still very good. Carrying her baskets of food, she often walks to distant temples to pray. Although she cannot read and write, her mind is as quick and shard as a youngster. Often I have noticed that my grandmother sees a joke attitude very smallest things around her. Her attitude toward death is both reassuring and thoughtful. She is full of animation and excitement when she talks, especially about the past. Her life is one of simplicity, independence, generosity, and trust because she is young at heart.
