Nomads can be defined as people who move from place to place. An Elder Nomad - those of a greater age than others around them - hence elder - may be moving in a different way - it might be between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms. They might be digital, local, even spiritual - movement is a characteristic - not always physical.
Often romanticized as having wanderlust I suspect it may be more wander-lost - searching for meaning and purpose by looking to a future “out there” rather than being here now - exploring what is before them. How they go about their exploration is worth discussion.
Elder Nomads see the possibilities each day brings - being wonder-lust in their practice towards mastery - akin to when they were young when experiences felt new and exciting. They express gratitude for each day - good or bad - happy or sad. Maybe that perspective comes with time. Some have always been nomadic - others are learning at a later stage.
Elder Nomads thrive in transition - accepting change as a natural order of the universe - experiencing a range of emotions in the hope of catching moments of insight. Elder Nomads are as varied as the life history they bring forth on their journey.
Each of us should welcome our own nomadic journey bringing greater self-awareness and awakening to the timeless connections we have to each other. You can be an elder at any age. You can be a nomad at any stage. Embrace the wonder. If it’s to be - it’s up to you.
