I have always said its possible to make connections with the larger apes, out in Chester Zoo today I was watching the chimps, most were doing what chimps do most. He though was not, sat looking out at us all as we stood looking back at him, he looked directly at me as I had the camera leveled at him and he just stared back. I'm going as grey as he is, his expression at times is one I have worn so many times and the stance is not new to me.
We all get old, no one or nothing is exempt from it, you often believe as a youngster you will never get old, I though thirty was ancient when I was a teenager, now I have passed that and added twenty more years to it. With age though comes wisdom but less time to be able to pass it on, with age comes and understanding, something you get when you make connections others don't see. be it with a money spider you watch as it passes over your hand, a flower that closes as the sun sets or in the eyes of a great ape.
No one lives forever, don't think your the exception, treat your time here well, one day you will wonder what you did with it all.
ALl so true my dear friend. And I guess it says more about me than him, that I see this wry smile on his face. He's just rather amused with life. Hope you are well
Wisdom that comes with time.....you are a visionary...who know Time Flys...
Hope you are well
Hope all is well with you too M
