"You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me." Morpheus - Matrix

Zach Bush - the wrinkled wisdom of Earth and Elder - 06.05.2025

It is time we open our hands and allow the wrinkled wisdom of Earth and Elder to travel through us—not in resistance, but in reverence.

The current market report for anti-aging products in 2024 was estimated as a 50 billion dollar industry and is on a trajectory for even further growth as we yearn to purchase our way out of wisdom—out of life’s beautiful process.

Yet elderhood is not a symbol of shame; it is an embodiment of the human journey—a testament to nature’s course which pours into the fountain of each generation as wisdom, story, and what they will eventually become.

The internal wise-one grows patiently as each year passes. A seed which yearns to hold the space within each person as a large and rooted tree—watered through life’s many experiences and the embrace of being human.

And for billions of years, the Earth has grown older, yet we do not view her ancient landscapes as an issue to be solved. Rather, we feel the welcoming arms of nature’s grandmothers and grandfathers cradling humanity and ushering us to remember why we are here.

Nature’s scroll of wisdom runs like a river through our changing physiology and we know what happens to an ecosystem when a dam is placed to cease its flow.

The water of time will continue to move whether we fight against its current—and I like to envision a world where children are able to be children and elders are able to be elders again.

The wrinkles on our bodies are nature’s imprint of transformation—of a body that has lived and done so wholeheartedly. And they are infused with the wisdom of an eternally changing world.
The silver hair on our heads are the threads of Earth’s ancient story—the fabric of wisdom to be woven into a tapestry of a life well-lived and a soul well-experienced.

Perhaps we are being reminded to sit with the elder that exists within us as a compass for not only dreaming the world we’d like to see, but embodying it—and embracing the aging terrains of our physical vessel as one of life’s greatest gifts
