Age
Ageing took me by surprise. I wasn’t prepared to grow old. Like a hit and run;
but it doesn’t run, it stays with me.
I’m not sure if this feeling has to do with becoming older, maybe it is brought about by being ill.
I don’t feel oldish. And I don’t mind ripening.
I’m beginning to understand that every person is entitled to their own evolution. I was fond of the idea of sharing my experience. Of my children going further from the point I’ve reached. But it doesn’t work that way; everyone needs to reinvent the wheel.
