I Do & So Do You

A   L   O   H   A  !

When I was young I needed sexual ecstasy or a 

hike to the top of a mountain to experience bliss. 

Now I can feel it when I look at a 

caterpillar on my garden path.

Grace is neither gentleness nor fragility. 

Grace is treating yourself, others, and 

even inanimate objects with respect.

          Kamand Kojouri

By the time we are 70, we have all had more 

tragedy and more bliss in our lives than 

we could have foreseen. If we are wise, 

we realize that we are but one drop in the 

great river we call life and that it has been a 

miracle and a privilege to be alive.

                                 Mary Pipher

 Ask a child, or 

a younger adult,

if they know more about life

and about themselves

this year than they did last.

No one ever feels

that they have not learned

something in the past year.

And yet Youth feels wiser.

While they see change closer up,

it's true, they lack the long

context that repetitions teach.

I may seem and behave

like your idea of a sweet,

or trying senior. But the

experience and context

are not yours yet

to understand.

That's fine.

I Do.
