“There are two great days in a person’s life--the day you
are born & the day we discover why.”--William Barclay.
Breeze me away
from the blue quagmire,
as my 70’s march on
with breezy efficiency.
Epiphanies can be like
a gentle breeze, but
at 2 am mine chilled
to the bone.
People are dying
all around me.
I need to
get my shit
together.

Hmmm. My seventies are marching on too. But sometimes I think what I need is simply to live and enjoy.
70 is a milestone, and so close it seems so much like a transition... though in reality it's a single day... Glad you have your blogger up again.
That is a milestone...and yes the realization can be a lightning ~ Good to have you back Glenn ~
Oh gosh, me too! Well said, Glenn.
Sometimes I wonder what "getting our shit together" really means anymore. Are we ever ready to just live? Always waiting....for something.
I feel ya, my friend. There is hope and sadness and a wry humor in this. Wonderful.
