Benjamin Buttons

In the movie Camelot, Arthur says that Merlin "youthins."

I have begun to think that that is true of myself.
I feel like I have been old, and I am gradually returning to youth.
I get younger and younger.
It is the weirdest thing.

Kirby called it "The Amazing Story of Benjamin Buttons II."
At least my body is following the expected trajectory.  I look older.  I just feel younger.
I like it.
I haven't lost any of the confidence or knowledge I have gained via the experiences of my life, but I have lost  the emotional weight of trials that helped me acquire this knowledge.
I just feel light inside.  Like a child.

It didn't happen all at once, but gradually, over time, and it continues to happen; thus it seems to me that I am getting continually younger.

All I can think of to explain this process, is that I am learning to "cast my burdens upon the Lord."
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Perhaps the key is light.

“And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.” (D&C 88:67.)

Elder Bruce R. McConkie states: “Christ is the light; the gospel is the light; the plan of salvation is the light; ‘that which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.’ As the light of the sun enters the body through our natural eyes, so the light of heaven—the light of the Spirit which illuminates our souls—enters through our spiritual eyes.” (The Mortal Messiah, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1980, 2:153; italics added.)
