Getting old...is humbling.
It's a series of losses.
Of realizing one's vulnerability and the brevity of life for all of us...
There is no escape. No turning away.
The one common road that we are all walking upon.
[
Listen, to those nearest to me, my family, my friends, my co-workers.
Be aware, no matter what words I hear, the message is, "Accept the person I am. Listen to me.
Listen, to those far from me, the whisper of the hopelessness, the plea of the forgotten, the cry of the anguished.
Help me to be less afraid to trust the voice inside - in the deepest part of me.
Listen in busyness and in boredom, in certainty and doubt, in noise and in silence.
Observe the self. The god inside of me.
