"Middle Age?" It's an elusive age which no one admits reaching, denies when accused of being there, and resents insinuations as having passed it Dante fixed "the middle year of life at about 35." That squares with the Biblical "three-score and ten" if you divide it equally.
But Middle Age is not determined by calendar-year or birthday, but by the position of life. It is not a year but an era.
It is that time (position) of life when you are attending funerals of your mentors, saying farewell to your children, and welcoming grandchildren. And it happens at different ages for various people.
Your parents and other significant mentors have either died or retired. And suddenly you discover the legacy of leadership and heritage of tradition are in your hands. You turn to look up, as in days past, only to find that family and the lesser-aged are looking up to you!
Middle age is being in the middle of whatever is happening in your life and the little world over which you have certain obligations and responsibilities.
Scary? Sometimes. Exciting? Yes. Inevitable? You bet!
