Quotes by Rachel Neumann (?)

“Many people are afraid of aging; some are even more afraid of aging than of death! But I have found that old age is something very delicious. You are calmer, you go more slowly, and you enjoy much more than when you are very young. You don’t rush. You take your time. And you taste every moment of your daily life.”
― Rachel Neumann, Not Quite Nirvana: A Skeptic's Journey to Mindfulness
