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
