Anais writes, "I wish we could talk about aging. I was more concerned about that at thirty and forty than now at seventy. Because I found that if you live deeply, remain emotionally alive, curious, explorative, open to change, to new experiences, aging recedes. It is not chronological, it is psychic."
She continues, "I say transcend it. I'm able to write all day, to swim, to lecture, to travel. Of course, I had to learn my energy was not infinite, but only this year. I think the youthful spirit wins over the face and body. You look beautiful and interesting in your photograph. Free yourself from the false mask of aging: It is merely a moment of tiredness."
Anais is out in the world buying cotton or velvet Indian dresses, being joyous and free in Mexico or Tahiti, never bored, interested in everything, seeing, loving, and experiencing everything she can.
