Gifts of Growing Older


What is wisdom?
The answer to the question before the question arises.

What is insight?
The discovery of a truth inside that is also mirrored outside.

What is vision?
The recognition of one's path as it becomes one's path.

Greeting Card

To know where you are going
Removes the surprise of arrival
Even though where you arrive
Sets you in a new direction

There is no resting place
No perch for nesting
Only friends who take you in
To rescue you from the holidays

Do you even have a brother
And sister if neither remembers
To call on your birthday
Do you even have a birthday

Time to take flight and join
The other endangered species
A whooping crane or an albatross
Inside the cage with the Giant Panda from China
