My dear<\/p>\n
Some more of my reflections from the SSL rural camp held during the Diwali vacations \u2026<\/p>\n
50 students\u2026 10 days in a farm\u2026 manual work\u2026 roughing it out\u2026 living together\u2026 growing up!<\/p>\n
Adjusting to the passing years and one\u2019s \u201csenior citizen\u201d status can be quite a challenge.<\/p>\n
Sharing with you in my inimitable style, some of my own efforts doing this at the recent SSL rural camp.<\/p>\n
I hesitate to send this one around because people might get the wrong idea that I am giving up.<\/p>\n
They might begin to feel sorry for me and I would not want that to happen. I do not think you will do that.<\/p>\n
I am not giving up. I am moving on ahead…<\/p>\n
And I shall judiciously take into consideration limitations and strengths that add on to my life as the years roll along.<\/p>\n

More reflections at Rural Camp 2015<\/p>\n
I thirst much sooner quicker now<\/p>\n
Tire faster… work much less \u2013<\/p>\n
Not allowed, restrained by those<\/p>\n
Who so much care for me.<\/p>\n
I tread the paths much slower now<\/p>\n
breathe a bit more heavy edge<\/p>\n
hover in still shadows watching<\/p>\n
waiting for a slip in chance<\/p>\n
for something \u00a0safe permissible<\/p>\n
a 70-year old may do.<\/p>\n
hawk-like they watch my every move<\/p>\n
Polite, concerned, considerate<\/p>\n
my indiscretions barrier bound<\/p>\n
I bow, I smile quiet step aside.<\/p>\n
They really care for me, I know<\/p>\n
and that is what really matters<\/p>\n
from silent shadow subtle fringe<\/p>\n
I sight glow sparkle beaming faces<\/p>\n
Hear unfamiliar upbeat singing<\/p>\n
Smile at twist convulsive dance<\/p>\n
They glance my way include me in<\/p>\n
Give me occasional care hug<\/p>\n

I know they\u00a0 care for me they do<\/p>\n
That is what really matters.<\/p>\n
I hearken to my body voices<\/p>\n
stop listen more attentive now<\/p>\n
The surge of rush-go\/halt-stop efforts<\/p>\n
Once done triumph carelessly<\/p>\n
In mind\/heart I can do it yet still<\/p>\n
My body begs me differently<\/p>\n
Shrug off and think \u2013 it matters naught<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 do not trudge the extra mile<\/p>\n
Nor ego strain to strive and conquer<\/p>\n
This that challenge mountain peak<\/p>\n
distance miles and\u00a0 challenge peak tops<\/p>\n
other kinds I\u00a0 venture\u00a0 now<\/p>\n
metamorphic change years pass by<\/p>\n
bud before, full bloom somehow<\/p>\n
I surf wild waves in verse and wit<\/p>\n
Chat entertain in manner glib<\/p>\n
Indulge in lush green garden spaces,<\/p>\n
Watch flower blossom, bud fruit grow<\/p>\n
Pluck lilting music spin out lyrics<\/p>\n
Draw, paint, assemble dazzle art<\/p>\n
Not bored or helpless whining sad<\/p>\n
My life cup filled to overflow<\/p>\n
All of me is there full there<\/p>\n
and I too care for them my ways<\/p>\n
I care for them I really do<\/p>\n
that is what also matters.<\/p>\n
