How do we coexist with Earth and its natural forces?
We have a relationship with gravity.
We have a relationship with gravity.
Gravity pulls our bodies down to earth and grounds us for our entire life.
Why can't we acknowledge the coexisting relationship of an aging body and gravity,
and accept the reality, rather than disowning it, that as we age, our skin loses elasticity, our bones lose density, and our body slowly gives in to this force,
our skin drooping and our spine compressing in a shift downward?
Here, I stretch the definition of Right to Coexistence to a
relationship between us and a physical force of the earth.
I declare the Right to Age supported by the Right to Coexistence.
Few of us want to age.
But since we will age, can't we switch our viewpoint
to one of acceptance, even joy, of a coexisting relation with Earth?
With age, we trade trade physical strength for wisdom.

to endure, rather than the natural beauty it is."
As we age as individuals, the human race ages, and the Earth ages.
