I hope you feel the peace and blessing of this ritual. This is the step I've made To take Old Age by the hand and draw it into the daylight. Hey, everybody take off your glasses and look at the Christmas tree. So we change. I let the blurring slip into my head so that experiences fuse and blend Past overlays the present.
Time flows back and forth.
I have seen your shadow in the x-ray and you look surprised, shocked out of shape and a little comic. Thank you, bones, for all these years of service. I wish I had been wise enough and well enough to feed and use you a little better. We are thoughtless when our bodies don't hurt. Thank you for reminding me that you are there.
