If You Live Long Enough

What I have been told

If you live long enough you will eventually get to see everything. You know this is true when you recognize a pattern no matter how well hidden, as it really is, because it keeps repeating like the waves on the shore.. You live long enough when the thrills of youth no longer seem astonishing but rather trite compared to the real meaning of life. You live long enough when most things seem boring, with the exception of nature that never ceases to reveal something new. And if you live long enough you find the that some of the best relationships are with your feline friends or the honorable dog ally because it is reliable in a world that is full of illusions both of our own making and of others. If you live long enough you will suffer loss of things and people you want to hold on to.

If you live long enough you may find acceptance of the things you cannot control.
