This really resonates with me, Paul, as my wife and I are spending the next several weeks visiting my 93-year-old mother-in-law and everyday I feel the hours slipping away from her. This getting old stuff is not for the faint of heart!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I hope all goes well with your visit and your presence demonstrates to your mother-in-law assures her that she is, indeed, seen by the ones who love her. Thank you for reading this and for commenting.
A poem that can last longer than Asian wisdom . Same ink, just splashed in a new un cryptic style. Joy raised in the spirit of an artist stroke as a sunset moment colors the sky not with India ink of darkness to come but the rising of light.
Thank you, @rena for sharing this, I’m grateful
Your words are eternal!
Thank you, Stan, though the body fails, the artist leaves behind a final piece of calligraphy to mark his passing
Read this three times. Felt something new each time. Thanks for sharing this, Paul.
What more could the artist in the poem ask for, Mary? Thank you.
This reminds me of something Isaac Asimov once said, something to the effect, "If I knew I had only minutes to live, I would simply type faster."
May our ink long outlive us Paul.
That’s the hope, Wes
A kind of a raging against the dying of the light
Yes, rena
I sense a merging of longevity and legacy. I love what you did with this, Paul.
Thank you, Rod

Wow, to hear these words again. To read them again. Incredible. Thank you, Paul.
Thanks, Mike. Events being what they are, I have not been able to concentrate on writing
much, so June has not been an altogether productive month. either for writing or reading. Hope to get back to it soon, but will not force myself.
Legacy.
Yes!
