The honorific title of “geezer” was conferred upon me by an irate man in emotional pain. Wanting to know the full meaning of my new status in the world, I went home and surfed the net for enlightenment. I found that “geezer” has its root meaning in guiser, one who is in disguise. I heartily embrace that definition. While the man who gave me the title meant it as an insult, he really gave me a blessing. As are we all, I am the universe in disguise. As a warrior geezer, I practice relentlessly, mindfully centering, compassionately opening and engaging life as it is this moment, while guised in this embodying.

You too can be a geezer! Age does not matter. Simply acknowledge that you are the universe embodying in this particular guise.
