The Wisdom of Age


Ask: Where has the man of sixty gone?
His trees no longer put forth twigs and roots,
His sinews are thin and weak,
No longer do they rise to fight his wars.  -Ibn Ezra

Age is a good thing. It gives perspective  What we once thought was inviolate we learn was not.  Is it age or the pendulum of death suspended over us?  It does not matter.  Wisdom is knowing what is important and what is not.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
