Old Tools And New Graces


Kiln sitting.  I am a wearisome soul; most spent yesterday and remain half spent this morning.  Oldness is its own vocation, a job of daily learning to accomplish life with a tool that is chipped, bent and oft repaired.   It carries with it certain smoothness wrought over years of use, a sincerity of usefulness gleaned from your latter years of faithful and wise use.  However, the abuse laid on it in youth by a mind still not broken to the bit of self-preservation requires a daily paying of interest on the loan spent recklessly.  But all is not laid in the redden debit ledger of youth for if one is graced enough to be found then Wisdom Himself teaches one how best to realize that olden body that is now you, to accomplish the you He daily demands.
