Acceptance II

 

As time seems to accelerate

in these older years,

my attachment to life

has strengthened.



Of course there is

a sense of aching in my heart,

like things could start

to unravel in the next ten ears.



However, at seventy-eight,

my current grip on life

feels firm and confident,

like when I'm lifting weights.



Or running wooded trails, or the beach.

Or playing tennis and pickleball.

Or swimming in the ocean.

Or hiking in the mountains.



Or photographing nature

all over this beautiful country.

Or Writing outdoors 

in numerous locations.



A working combination of

adaptability, and perseverance.

Acceptance and gratitude

for my abundant blessings.
