Oldness

"Oldness happens to all of us at times when we venture too far from the vital reality that is us.
We listen and care too much for what others think... With so many assaults, part of us simply gets old, becomes frail, and withers and dies.
The ageless are those who preserve the spirit of the child. They are inquisitive, curious and playful."

Don’t let the pain of one season
destroy the joy of all the rest;

Don’t judge life by one difficult season.

Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come.
