At most, there will come a time that you'd feel age is fast overtaking you.
This morning body aches, slight it was, yet a subtle signal, a reminder..suddenly, The Desiderata comes to mind ( "take kindly the counsel of years; gratefully surrendering the things of youth..") and it pins you in a kind of bind..
Muss es sein? Ja, ess muss sein...( must it be THAT way? Yes, it IS that way..//btw, read Kundera's Unbearable Lightness Of Being, a must read before everything turns black).
Yes, body aches and all; the signs are there, and yes, Virginia, suck the marrow of life! ( with apologies to Henry David Thoreau..who said : " I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.." )
