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.
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.
