I’m not sure, but those who make it to old age tend to come to a calm acceptance. It is the end of the journey, and perhaps for some the battle. Yet, those who do make it that far should see it as a blessing. So many do not get that far.
Life is half attitude, really. Find the good, even if small. It’s there.

Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. I concur with Mark, getting older there is a calm acceptance that takes place. For me it was recognizing my mortality, and realizing if I didn’t change my perspective I was going to die miserable or suddenly. Or worse yet, both. I can relate my friend but there is a blessing in figuring out that changing the lens helps a lot. We all go through this you’re definitely not alone. Appreciate you.

I love this because, the dark is my friend when scribbling. The dark is an embryo in the womb of the mind. Keep on, getting on with your writing.

Very well expressed. It is a well-felt plea that we all can relate to. Your version is precise and captures the feelings well.
Now cheer up! 😉

Powerfully penned, PG. Excellent write my friend. Your plea is so authentic and real, and your reading expresses the emotional element of the words themselves. We all face self-doubt and our vulnerability escapes through our deepest fears sometimes. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
