Walking along the dirt road outside our gate to the ranch, I spied a tree.
She is very old, clearly long dead, but she still has her beauty. Gnarled, dry branches and a crusty trunk still strong, she still stands.
Made me ponder life, in general - and aging, in particular.

In our culture, we discard the aged humans, or at the very least, ignore them. “OK Boomer” is often declared when we, the older ones, express ourselves, but the wisdom contained in an old tree, or an old human is valuable.

We’ve seen so much and we’ve lived long enough now to see the patterns of life clearly.
It’s clear there’s little we can do, other than keep on standing and doing our best to say the truth, as we understand it.

Maybe one day a young one will wander by us and recognize us for who we are; hopefully wiser for our living so long and possibly someone to listen to.
