I am pleased to share the following email from a kind and thoughtful reader. I
have no idea if it is original prose or not. But, he is kind enough to
send such missives in response to some of my postings, so I like to share them with the other readers.
... yes...
... aging is a strange, wonderful...
... journey...
... parts that can or would...
... function...
... do not always have the same...
... urgency...
... and parts you never realized...
... functioned...
... make themselves important by aching...
... since i was very young...
... "why?" and "to what end?"...
... have shaped many decisions...
... and seem even more valuable...
... as maturity shapes me into...
... what would have been a frightful form...
... to my younger self...
... i care very much more...
... and strangely...
... very much less...
... i care more about those hours...
... spent watching, wanting and waiting...
... for the seeming few minutes' carnal meet...
... as there is more to enjoy without worry...
... despair...
... than these things...
... care less about those few minutes' carnal meet...
... for when a day gone by...
... i wonder what those hours...
... could have accomplished...
... as achieving the score seems pale...
... so the "why" compels me...
... to examine...
... and "to what end"...
... imagines me the consequences...
... there are people i love...
... and who love me...
... though "not in that way"...
... and i wonder if sowing those joys...
... fatal to a fucking folly...
... may be a better treasure...
... than what i could impatiently seek...
... not to a eunuch's end...
... mind you...
... but maybe not minding...
... so much to consider it that...
... anyhow...
... and there is the love...
... to consider beyond...
... lust...
... i do not think it is too much...
... to ask for or want...
... though i am not sure...
... we always recognize the answer...
... or fulfillment..
... and as i lay me down...
... very likely before 2200...
... i shall hold what a geezer does...
... in mind...
... and generously water good hopes...
... that your energy is spent wisely...
... keeping your heart soft...
... your mind keen...
... and your working parts ready...
... when called upon... ;)
... and may you fall completely...
... into ageless grace...
... gray hair and good nature...
... intact...
blessings.

Aging gracefully is most definitely the way to go.
At least, that is what THIS DADDY thinks.
