"Forever Seeking Truth" - Joseph Wolfberg in his home in February 2025.
Sharman West
“Earlier in my life I always thought of myself as attractive. As I aged I still saw myself as younger than I am because I still have a lot of physical energy and an energetic personality - that is until I looked in the mirror and all I could see was an unattractive face with wrinkles and lines and sagging eyelids and yellowing teeth. It was hard and defeating each time I saw my face and sometimes I just don't look in the mirror. I am grateful though that I still have lots of energy and a sense of humor - those things haven't changed and there is a lot about those parts of me that I like. The photos of me are beautiful and I still see that 20-something-year-old and it's OK that I am not 20 or 30 and so on. I am 77. I embrace and am grateful to have been given this many years and I enjoy being surrounded by my peers.”
