I heard myself saying “wait until...” and then I
stopped because what I was about to say was going to sound like a
confession in relation to my age! I was on the phone with my daughter who was calling me from Phoenix-Arizona
while I was in Baton Rouge-Louisiana visiting my son. I told my daughter that I don’t have my
car here and I don’t know much about the city, and she was trying to encourage
me to rent a car and try to explore the place. I opened my mouth to tell her “wait
until you get older like me” but I did not say that. Why frighten her from the old
age while in time she will get there! She can at least enjoy her life while still young
without worrying about some far away unknown future time!
Metanoia is an ancient Greek word meaning "changing or improving the mind" or "abandoning the false self and encountering with the inner void". This is an account of my on-going journey in life, moving forward while focusing on self-awareness which is the conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, desires and also understanding others better.

Baton Rouge
At this moment I am in Baton Rouge visiting my Son and his wife who have lived here for the past sixteen years, and in general, I can say that I like the place with all its specifications.
