If it is, age is the combat for which I was trained. Now I must take this person I have become and make each new day special. I must make good on the promise of every dawn I am privileged to see. Life goes from a minor to a major key. The game builds to a climax.
Every move assumes importance.
One feels like a virtuoso. The gifts we have been given, the powers that empower us, the marvels that make us marvelous are evident as never before. The truth is that we have lost nothing. The problem is not that I am less than I was when I was young, it is that I am not more. It is past time to become my own person.
