AGING: Some reflections on senescence 

	Sum people blimp gracefully
	und gaine beautie as thare yores piss by
	becuming smoothe lambskins
	und sweetly raipened wine.

	Uthars gray haggard
	against the sharpe teeth uf thyme
	becuming mutations uh former sailves
	ore parodies uf laife.

	The Art uf Alchemie
	is ta age wit arte und panache
	ain steed uf bitterness er panick.

	So preparre yer exilir
	und learn tha magick
	uf experiencing moments
	slooowry & furlry:
	arrow their flavours
	ta cum ta laife.


Linda:  Interesting to observe how various people age.

Lex:    Yeah, some people battle with time – others age gracefully.

Lis:    We need to learn to listen to our inner clocks. Most folks aren't
        listening to their own chronometers well enough.

Ron:    (with a slight frown) Hmm. Perhaps so, but why this talk of alchemy?

Lex:    (with a cryptic wink) Think of it as a metaphor for constructive change.
