“Fountain of Youth,” by Cranach the Elder, and maybe also the younger. A medieval painting featuring a public bath where old women shuffle in on one side and emerge on the other as young damsels.

Screencap of article. Intro reads: Last year I broke my leg climbing down a gully on a story. I have no way to prove this but it felt like it broke easier, took longer to heal, and a younger version of myself probably wouldn’t have slipped in the first place. Yes, I know I’ve been on this planet for eight decades now — nearly a century. Yet this was the first time I felt old.

This week Jules Octavian reflects on his life and thinks about his own mortality.
