To: old man me..

Reflecting on your life, we are judging the now old fraile,broken, and slow self. No longer the man I used to be. Once able to be strong and limber with the wit to have all beauty, and the ego to match!

It is but silly to compare yourself to the man you once were because that spirted soul created the wisdom and grace to whom you are today.

So, though we can go on for days with comparisons, it is but that, that kills joy.

Shifting the mind through a thousand yard stare, the attention of our legacy is but as alive and fragrant as our once age, though in generations to come our name and accomplishments will fade, the impact we have had on our loved ones souls will have a trickle down effect that generations to come will reap the benefits from ! is but the only sense of joy we need.

For yes, this ragged old body is no longer able to engage in such Galante endeavors, but the mark of inspiration and love holds the weight of the world in comparison.

Our impact has made the world a better place!

Thank you, old me.
