When men reach their twilight years, the best they can have is the peace of life and they view worldly matters differently from before. They are more macroscopic than microscopic in approach. In a way and on the balance of things, they would have done well enough to deserve the twilight of life. Many others who were less fortunate had their lives snubbed off before twilight.
The twilight years often cast a yellow glow often either gloomy yellow, sort of dirty yellow or jaundice, to the many who do not grow the divine light in them, or a resplendent glow of gold to those who have and who can bask in the golden years.
The latter must however continue to grow and glow the golden wisdom to be ever closer to a better life to come. The wisdom has to do with insight that the best of life and nature is still not perfect compared to that in Heaven, and this provides the platform for the awakening to the eternal beauty of God and saints in life.
Twilight glow or gloom is up to us. The glow that we can nurture in life is a spiritual one and this is more so in twilight years.

However, the internal parts of the flower may not be beautiful. Hence Nature's creations such as this flower are not perfect. What is created by nature is also not static and changes could take place." Historical version of the 1983 message of Lord Bo Tien ...
