Yes, his face is ravaged but time hasn't taken a damn thing from him, artistically.

The clinging, the clinging.<br /><br />I didn't think about Keith Richards, though, and that last line of this post made me die laughing.

And eventually, yes it really does.<br /><br />Ms. Vesuvius- Humans are so illogical, aren't we?<br /><br />Allison- Some days I deal with it better than others.<br /><br />Mel- Yes. I can tend to the baby chicks. That I can do. No my love.

I knew in the abstract that I would get older, but I never thought what it would be like to have my body not hold up like I need it to, or my mind, or my moods.<br /><br />I was driving along today listing all the things in my head I am not any more, like supple or attractive or attracted or funny or as smart, and I almost wallowed in it a bit, but I cranked up the radio and bopped along in my car and tried to push the bleak thoughts away.<br /><br />I'm with you, I just don't know why I am so mystified by the inevitable. I share in your consternation, and I am really glad someone else feels the angst too. I just need to know I'm not the only one, that helps more than you know.<br /><br />xo<br /><br />and you many not lay eggs anymore, but you sure know how to tend them. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-44311097464407547542013-07-10T13:02:01.880-04:002013-07-10T13:02:01.880-04:00Yes I did.

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself in a window walking down a street and I wonder who that person could be.
