Fence and Friends

A  L  O  H  A !

A Serious Working Fence

" A good neighbor smiles at you 
over the back fence, 
but doesn't climb over it. "
                       Arthur Baer

 Beside a Shady Tropical Pathway

" Think about the photo 
before and after, 
never during. 
The secret is 
to take your time. . .
 Then, however, 
you must 
be very quick. "
                   Henri Cartier-Bresson

Stages Ages Pages

A  L  O  H  A !

Three Ages

History was a subject in school

How things came to be as they are.

All too soon “Are” and “Is”

become “Was.”

History grows bigger

digesting you

and everything you hate

or love

with Change.

The role you play changes

well behaved student - push and shove

explorer planting flags in life and love,

Dancing with your special one

till tasks on the treadmill are never done.

Hopefully you’ll play again

in the gold afternoon of your shared sun

ignoring the retreating light

yet bursting to tears over geese in flight.

Look to the glowing embers

not the dark,

Pleasures and Remembers

render it much less stark.

And when I am

and when I do

among my greatest glories:

my history with you.

It makes sense
to cultivate
our inner strengths
before
our outer ones
wane.

"Old age

 is like a plane 

flying through a storm. 

Once you're aboard, 

there's nothing 

you can do." 

                      Golda Meir

"Let no feeling

 of discouragement

 prey upon you,

 and in the end you 

are sure to succeed." 

                     Abraham Lincoln

 deeper powers

 within ourselves 

come when life 

seems most challenging." 

Joseph Campbell

Here are 3 Anti-Aging Tips I Use.

Adopt, Adapt, or merely Laugh

as suits YOUR situation.

Insights remain valid

 Balance 

On one foot 

then the other.

Works your core

thighs, ankles, feet,

preserves sense of

balance.

Hold a table's edge

or such till just

one finger is enough.

Then without finger touching.

Becomes easy [-er]

 Hop

Then jump

 to maintain bone mass, 

leg strength,

respiratory capacity 

 and coordination

DO Avoid falls!

Begin by holding on.

Stay within your zone

which WILL expand

and you will feel great.
