Cradle to the Grave
Driving through the countryside today, feeling both young and old
in the same
moment in the early Fall air, I realized that I felt excited—for
one of the first times—to deal with advancing age. A whole new
set of problems, difficulties, and opportunities for learning!
Childhood brought their own; adolescence, another set of
perspectives and concerns, each of them the most important thing in
the world. Adulthood, parenting and now, getting old. Entering my
seventy-seventh year. That moment in the car, I let go of all the
other stages of my life and faced this one, this now, this passing
moment with a sense of joy. Here is a recent song I wanted to share
with all of you that only the passage of these years could have
written.
