Being By The River

Sometimes I long for my youth, for all those bright days with limitless choices each filled with new experiences and plenty of chances for success.  When your body was successes champion and your mind need only celebrate.  But age brings a certain success which youth could never realize when you can bring your entire being, body, mind, and spirit to bear on life which seems to anoint living with a sincere sense of Divine collaboration as if in the slowing of age you are allowed to keep pace with The Spirit.  Your body, though much less exuberant, is more capable of coupling itself to the mind and spirit allowing life to be lived in a way that you may realize all the joy that a young body races blindly by.  All of life has its advantages but only for those who have lived enough to take them.
