I have an attorney friend who just hit 64 and she swears aging has given her a new super power. She claims she could strip naked and walk out of the office for lunch and no one would notice. I laugh at my friend, but your invisibility makes me want to sit on the sidelines and cheer. You've somehow invented your own parade and that's a hell of a great trick for one lifetime.
My sister and I joke about those days when we are invisible. People bump into me as if I weren't there (I'm not an insignificant object), other drivers pull out in front of me even though I drive a bright red car, and I can't get waited on at counters. I feel invisible at times.
As for reading, a good book is one which leaves me thinking, not one that leaves me satisfied. Just like that last quote you used. An interesting concept must be mulled over and over and maybe never answered. Just thought about. And yet, action is the only way to progress. A conundrum.

thanks I like your comment on this, inventions are a challenge. A parades makes it sound fun.

Thanks for the comment. I can relate to what say.
Great piece. lots to unpack!
Thanks.
Thank you. I have entered the world of invisibility as I age. I am finding new freedoms.
Thanks. It’s “enlightening” :)
