Wondering. If it's too late.

It’s harder and harder. Living from day to day. Adjusting to a changing and turbulent world. Could be. That’s part of the aging process. An inability or a lack of desire. To be modern and contemporary. More and more. I seek to isolate myself. So that I don’t have to satisfy and please others. Shutting out distractions. Political, economic, social. Indeed, a sharp contrast. With my younger days. When I relished being a disruptive force. Now, give me peace and quiet. Solitude. Funny, isn’t it?  Years ago, I would have welcomed a Donald Trump to the scene. For upsetting the natural order. Merely for the hell of it. Now I flee to France. To escape. To Gothic cathedrals. Sitting there. All day. In contemplation.  Wondering. If it’s too late. To pursue my true calling. --Jim Broede
