As if age doesn't matter.

One nice thing about life. One is free to initiate the unexpected.  By opening one’s mind. And emotions, too. To all sorts of possibilities. By taking risks. Rather than being tied to the safe, conservative approach. I’m fearful. That as I age.  It becomes too easy. To withdraw. Into my cocoon.  Solely because it’s the safe place to be. I must resist that urge. And learn to act. As if age doesn’t matter.  --Jim Broede
