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.
