"You Know Where the Tiger is Hiding"

As I was reading yesterday's Times, I saw a quote on aging in an article about Jane Fonda. She referred to the "rectangularization" of aging replacing the notion that "you're born, you peak at midlife and then you decline." She then gave reasons life improves with age, among them, "You know where the tiger is hiding; you don't have to keep looking for it in the bush."

I am so glad that I don't have to look in the bush anymore. The tigers I care about are not in hiding. Most have been consistent in my life, those who have been or have become inconsistent, can just stay in the bush knowing that I won't be looking there.
