some days i feel all of 80
occasionally i feel all of 4
most days i am surprised to see the really OLD woman in the mirror
and not as often, i am surprised to see the WISE woman in the mirror
today is a day where i am realizing that a lot of women my age.....LOOK old enough to be my mom (when she died) as i do now as well.....yet we all have a common reference of having lived through the same times...if not exactly in the same way...
and i can see the girl they used to be behind the woman they have become
i am learning to do that as well with 'old men'
gone are the full lustrous locks of hair and the six pack abs
but if you look closely, just behind the liver spots you really CAN see the boys they were
i suppose it is an adaptation of focus for your optic nerve, but now i can do it....apparently it is something that takes at least 50 years to train yourself for.
at times, i find it very good to be contemplative,
which i find more and more that i take a few minutes to do just that
so today on this rainy day......this is what i am thinking of
