Personally, I think it means a balanced, peaceful acceptance of how the body changes over time. Is it also a finding of bliss in the now when it's not easy to see through dimming eyes? Maybe being strong of spirit as the body finds it's way in years? However it is defined, growing old with class is pretty well nailed by these pine cones.

And sometimes to your surprise,, one of them just might start growing - first a little sprout.. Because that is what they do here. !!!
ReplyDeleteAll nestling together- and you think their sleeping,,
suddenly up pops a little sprout,, And before you know it,, its a brand new tree. Of course you will need to find the perfect place- when the time is right,, for it to grow and reach for the sky!
These are such beautious little things. And we love how you look at things,, through your very own eyes!

We have little sprouts outside our yard. But none on our property. Good to hear from you!
