40 years is the time for mid-life review, time to check how you lived your life before; and more importantly how you would prefer living onwards. That is the stage of mental maturity and cognitive awareness developed for you to make fair and brave judgements about you, your life and soul. Seeking genuine meaning of life and balanced view of both your inner and outer environment. I believe this state of being is a special gift, but could also become a mid-life crisis easily unless handled properly. Wish you good luck and all the best :)

I like the comparison to mental calisthenics of just working with the body and gravity. I get a lot of silence, a lot of doing nothing. But I also just came back from a salsa class and that's good too. Sideways connections--great phrase.
