The question is asked, "Is there anything more beautiful in
life than a boy and a girl clasping clean hands and pure
hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more
beautiful than young love?"
And the answer is given. "Yes, there is a more beautiful
thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman
finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands
are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but
still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired,
but still strong with love and devotion for one another.
Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love.
Old love."

Hey...know what? if i knew you? i'd probably like you. you sound interesting and vibrant...a bit wild perhaps but it's just the independent- minded side of you, I think. Sometimes you even sound as if you dont care, detached, but this particular piece say you are not..hmmm...
I love mysteries...adds more life to life..
